This Rangelands Atlas brings together big data sets on rangelands and related issues, projected through 16 sets of maps, together with facts and figures generated from the mapping process, and local case studies. It has been developed to document and raise awareness on the enormous environmental, economic and social value of rangelands as well as their different ecosystems. It highlights how rangelands are distributed, which rangelands are homes to threatened species, the predicted effects of climate change on nature and food production, and other changes that have and could take place.<span class=apple-converted-space> </span></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>
