There is a very strong attention and expectation in this context toward the visibility and value that the path of the IYRP26 can give to pastoral issues and to rangelands, pastures and eco-systemic value of pastoralist practice. Considered the high relevance that pastoralism, not only intensive, but even the more extensive and small producers' one have in Argentina, I thinks it should be good to work into this line of work asap. It should be something very inspiring and important to address.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000">I'll still have both a fieldwork on pastoralism in Italy than in this area (Patagonia Argentina) and I'll be glad to keep the group informed about these questions and fieldworks and to organize local events and specific focus on this on the road and during the IYRP2026, beyond the commitment that all of us have in the overall dissemination plan of the Year. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000">Best regards to all of you.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000">letizia</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000">Best, letizia </div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Letizia Bindi</div><div dir="ltr">Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology - University of Molise (Italy)</div><div dir="ltr"><div>Director of BIOCULT - Centre of Research on Bio-Cultural Heritage and Local Development</div><div>Via De Santis - II Edificio Polifunzionale - 86100 Campobasso (ITALY)</div><div>Mobile Phone: +393383202796 - Skype: <a href="mailto:letizia.bindi3@gmail.com" target="_blank">letizia.bindi3@gmail.com</a> </div><div><img src="https://drive.google.com/a/unimol.it/uc?id=1w4M8TJkmWugcsZdgwFbAc9XeL7rGvEMk&export=download" width="53" height="96" style="font-family:-webkit-standard;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1bnArXql5OQ8Bz0_YKLmv1tMtfnl4wHKz&revid=0BxphOjVYdWOjUzZoS2xZeERzQldSeUp4MGhzSjJRTDJ0YmFjPQ" width="96" height="59"><img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1IgH7g1QLyoS-Y2iFAuN6-D8XcSBFu1m4&revid=0BxphOjVYdWOjS3phcUpaVzJ1ME9pVVVrQzN4WG1VTEI2Z0E4PQ" width="96" height="80"><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">Il giorno ven 25 mar 2022 alle ore 20:08 Ann Waters-Bayer <<a href="mailto:waters-bayer@web.de">waters-bayer@web.de</a>> ha scritto:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">Dear all,<div><br></div><div>Here is the next collection of congratulatory messages, also coming into the <a href="mailto:theiyrp@iyrp.com" target="_blank">iyrp@iyrp.info</a> address:</div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin:0px"><span style="color:rgb(127,127,127)"><b>From: </b></span><span><span style="background-color:rgb(255,251,0)">Rogerio MARTINS MAURICIO</span> <<a href="mailto:rogeriomauricio@ufsj.edu.br" target="_blank">rogeriomauricio@ufsj.edu.br</a>><br></span></div><div style="margin:0px"><span style="color:rgb(127,127,127)"><b>Subject: </b></span><span><b>Re: [IYRPsupportgroup] Fwd: Thank you letter from Ambassador Enkhbold Vorshilov</b><br></span></div><div style="margin:0px"><span style="color:rgb(127,127,127)"><b>Date: </b></span><span>25 March 2022 at 23:38:36 PM CET<br></span></div><div style="margin:0px"><span style="color:rgb(127,127,127)"><b>To: </b></span><span>"James O'Rourke" <<a href="mailto:jorourke@csc.edu" target="_blank">jorourke@csc.edu</a>><br></span></div><div style="margin:0px"><span style="color:rgb(127,127,127)"><b>Cc: </b></span><span>Maryam Niamir-Fuller <<a href="mailto:mniafull2@gmail.com" target="_blank">mniafull2@gmail.com</a>>, <a href="mailto:iyrpsupportgroup@list.cals.arizona.edu" target="_blank">iyrpsupportgroup@list.cals.arizona.edu</a><br></span></div><br><div dir="auto">I fully agree with the honest words from Jim!
