Dear Maryam an d all,<br>
Many thanks for sharing the resolution. In fact, it was a Great job done by many people mentioned by You which I?should respect to?them on behalf of?pastoralists of this end in Iran whom are?the real custodians of rangelands.<br>
I have an?idea, can we have some reports from each region? ?let say 5 country reports about rangelands from each continent. ?------------------Best RegardsHossein Badripour (Ph.D.)Member of?High Council Forests, Rangelands and Watershed management Organization (FRWO)Ministry of Jahad Agriculture,Tehran I.R.IranZIP: 1955756114Tel: +98 21 22 44 65 05 / 22 48 85 09Fax: +98 21 22 48 84 74Cell: +98 912 644 93 08www.frw.org.irSkype: Badripour<br>

Subject: [IYRPsupportgroup] UNEA 4 Resolution on sustainable rangelands and pastoralism<br>
<br>
Dear friends and colleagues<br>
I am very pleased to share with you the final Resolution L17 passed yesterday by the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) at its 4th Session. It was originally proposed by the Government of Kenya and supported by the Africa Group.<br>
It is a very significant achievement to have a resolution specifically on rangelands and pastoralism (compared for example to having a sentence embedded into another wider resolution). In my opinion it shows that the world's governments and other stakeholders are becoming increasingly cognizant of the vital importance of addressing this issue in all of its aspects.?<br>
A careful reading of the resolution will show you that:<br>
a) there continues to be support for raising global awareness, and it recognizes the process for an IYRP that the Government of Mongolia has initiated through FAO's COAG; our eyes therefore turn next to that process;<br>
b) UNEP has been requested to assist countries who wish to conduct regional assessments of rangelands and pastoralism; my hope is that we will now have a way to work together to first harmonize methodologies and terminologies for these assessments, and to focus collectively on the gaps in information identified through the UNEP Gap Analysis (Case of Benign Neglect) and other efforts.?<br>
c) efforts should be redoubled to seek innovative solutions; the resolution acknowledges the value of traditional knowledge grazing and herding mechanisms and institutions, and calls for ecosystem restoration, resilience planning, financing of sustainable development, and more.<br>
The final text of the Resolution in all 5 UN languages can be found on:<br>

I wish to thank so many of our colleagues who worked both in Nairobi and elsewhere to make this Resolution happen, and the institutional support particularly of the Governments of Mongolia and Kenya, of IRC, SRM, GRID-Arendal, ILRI, IUCN, CELEP, and all those who attended the Ministerial Breakfast at UNEA. I apologize if I have inadvertently left anyone out!<br>
In conclusion, I believe that this Resolution L17, and the UNEP Gap Analysis report can be effective tools for you to work within your countries and institutions to continue to enhance our collective support to sustainable rangelands and pastoralism.?<br>
Thank you and best regards<br>

Dear Maryam,<br>
<br>
Good news and thanks to African group. Congratulations all! It now<br>
important guiding and supporting document for our horseback journey to COAG<br>
and ahead! It also gives us new insights for the agenda from the angle of<br>
impact of land degradation and desertification to the livelihoods of<br>
millions of pastoralists and to sustainability of rangeland ecosystem<br>
services. We will consider it for our proposal and stakeholder?s attention.<br>
<br>
We can fully cooperate/exchange for the IYRP proposal and Resolution with<br>
the member(s) of this group.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
