[IYRPsupportgroup] FYI: Third Announcement Joint XXIV IGC + XI IRC Congress - thematic area "Pastoralism, social, gender & policy issues"

[Ann Waters-Bayer]

Dear all,

The deadline for submitting panels to the International Grasslands and Rangelands Congress 2020 in Nairobi is already past, but there is still time to submit abstracts for oral presentations and posters up to 15 November 2019.

I would like to draw your attention particularly to the thematic area “Pastoralism, social, gender and policy issues” which includes the following topics, among others:
Cultural heritage and indigenous people’s use of rangelands/grasslands (Indigenous Technical Knowledge).
Governance, land rights and changes to pastoral systems.
Social justice, gender and equity issues in rangelands/grasslands.
Livelihood diversification opportunities for pastoralists (crops, hand crafts, fishing, beekeeping, bio-fuels, silk, herbs, spices, wild fruit etc.).
Marketing infrastructure and systems in rangelands/grasslands.
Policy issues for rangelands/grasslands development.
Political instability and extremism: its impact on rangelands/grasslands management.
The third call for abstracts is attached, together with the congress flyer. Information and guidance for submitting abstracts, including a template for this, can be found here: http://2020kenya-igc-irc.rangelandcongress.org/?page_id=503 <http://2020kenya-igc-irc.rangelandcongress.org/?page_id=503>

Looking forward to seeing many of you in Nairobi!

Cheers,
Ann
