[IYRP General List] IYRP support group formed in Germany

[Stefan McAllister-Knöpfer]

Dear IYRP Group, dear Ann,

as mentioned, there is already a group like this in Austria under the  
umbrella of HIRTENKULTUR. The foundation is build by shepherd/esses  
and farmers who are willing to graze with their lifestock and raise  
the shepherds culture to a higher level of acceptance.
We also would love to share the IYRP Logo and story on our Website  
(please send me a logo with good resolution).
We would also like to participate with public lectures and events.

Please let us know how to.

Best reagards and thanks for the great project,

Stefan McAllister-Knöpfer
Chairman HIRTENKULTUR Austria



Zitat von Ann Waters-Bayer <waters-bayer at web.de>:

> Dear all,

> A very important level for policy influence with respect to  
> rangelands and pastoralists is the national level. The IYRP Global  
> Secretariat therefore welcomes all efforts to form national IYRP2026  
> groups. In every country, there are existing national and  
> subnational organisations and initiatives seeking to improve the  
> livelihoods of pastoralists and the health of the natural  
> environment. When these groups come together at national level, they  
> can leverage of the IYRP2026 to have a stronger voice in their  
> outreach and influence within their country and can also link up  
> with other national IYRP support groups in their region to engage in  
> policy dialogue at regional level.

> We are therefore very pleased to learn that several organisations
