[IYRPsupportgroup] IYRP Global Alliance at IUCN WCC 2025

Dear Engin

Greetings from WOCAT and thank your for you message and information.

We from WOCAT could also contribute with good and sustainable rangeland management practices for your planned proposal for an IYRP2026 event at WCC. I would like to refer you to our publication: Sustainable rangeland management in sub-Saharan Africa  https://wocat.net/en/wocat-media-library/sustainable-rangeland-management-in-sub-saharan-africa-guidelines-to-good-practice/ , which includes a range of rangeland and pastoral practices with a focus on SSA. The WOCAT database has other examples from outside SSA, e.g. Central Asia.  This is to show what kind of ind of contribution WOCAT could make.

Kind regards

Rima

Dear Members and Supporters of the IYRP Global Alliance,

As many of you are aware, the IUCN World Conservation Congress (WCC) 2025 will take place in Abu Dhabi, UAE, from 9 to 15 October 2025.

With the support of six IUCN member organizations within our Alliance, we have submitted a motion on IYRP2026. If and when the motion is endorsed for review, we will reach out to IUCN member organizations and commission members among you to contribute to the process before it is voted at the IUCN Forum.

Meanwhile, we, as Yolda Initiative and Alliance for Mediterranean Nature & Culture, would also like to submit a proposal for an IYRP2026 event at WCC. To ensure a well-coordinated effort, we kindly ask those that will attend WCC and willing to contribute to the event to inform us. This will allow us to collectively develop a strong proposal before the submission deadline (14 February 2025).

Looking forward to your responses.

All the best,

Engin
