About this course

The Advance Certificate (Online) Course on "Pastures, Pastoralism, and

rangelands in the context of the _International Year of Rangelands and 
Pastoralists 2026_. This specialized course delves into the intricate 
relationship between pastures, grazing resources, sustainable 
pastoralism, rangeland ecosystems, and effective governance strategies. 
As the world recognizes the importance of rangelands and the livelihoods

opportunities associated with dynamic landscapes in changing 
environments.
