Dear all,

Attached please find a 3-pager with current information about the IYRP - drafted specifically for sharing with pastoralist organisations and with organisations working directly with pastoralists at the grassroots. I also tried to make a French translation (which comes to 4 pages). I have deliberately not made a pdf out of this, as the text is meant to be adapted for different areas and in different languages (and please correct the French before sending it on to French speakers!).

Two members of the ISG - Greg Perrier and Fernando Garcia-Dory - had pointed out that the type of information we had thus far as PR materials did not make very clear to pastoralists what they could gain from supporting and being involved in an IYRP. Therefore, with their help, I put this together.

Please share the text - adapted as need be - with pastoralist organisations in your networks - and encourage them to:

  *   send to the FAO COAG Secretariat their letters of support for the IYRP or even commitment to contributing to the IYRP (we can send examples, if you want)
  *   send visual materials about pastoralism (videoclips, photos etc) for the online “website-booth” that we are setting up because the meeting of the COAG will be virtual, so we cannot have a physical booth and events in Rome during the week of the meeting - please send the materials to Barbara Hutchinson (BarbaraH at cals.arizona.edu<mailto:BarbaraH at cals.arizona.edu>) or me
  *   join the regional groups that are being set up to prepare for the IYRP (in the hopes that it will be approved by the COAG on 2 October) - Maryam Niamir (mniafull2 at gmail.com<mailto:mniafull2 at gmail.com>) can provide more information about these groups.

The COAG Secretariat has already received several letters of support or commitment, including from some pastoralist organisations and networks in Africa, CentralAsia, Europe, the Middle East and South America, but more letters would give more weight to the request by the Mongolian Government that an IYRP be designated.

Thanks in advance!

Ann
