[IYRPsupportgroup] Eulogy for our former IYRP chair Jim O'Rourke

[Ann Waters-Bayer]

Dear all,

Many thanks for all the responses that you have sent to our message about Jim. We are not sharing the responses through the IYRP listserv as they come in. We will send a compilation of the responses at a later point in time, and will also send this to Jim’s wife Lora and family so that they realise how much we appreciated Jim’s great contribution to the IYRP initiative.

Just so that you don’t wonder what happened to your response to the ISG listserv….

Ann

Jim spearheaded the initiative for the United Nations designation of 2026 as the International Year of Rangelands & Pastoralists. Attached is a eulogy to this remarkable man, whose passion for rangelands continued to burn into his 82nd year.
