The International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists for 2026 has taken a huge step toward being a reality. Today at the FAO Committee on Agriculture (COAG) meeting, the Mongolian Government presented the proposal for an IYRP and it was immediately approved without objections. Now the proposal will be officially passed on to the 165th session of the FAO Council (in December 2020) for adoption by the 42nd session of the FAO Conference (in June 2021). Then on to the U.N. General Assembly hopefully in October 2021 for a final designation.<br class=""><br class="">This was definitely a team effort and we know that all the support letters and logos that you sent made a huge impact. By this morning we were up to 153 supporting organizations worldwide!<br class="">The IYRP International Support Group will be meeting soon to discuss strategies for next steps as we work to keep the momentum going through the rest of the U.N. process.
