have all seen some mails in this listserv about planting trees in Mongolia.
However, because Barbara, Maryam and I (who moderate this listserv) don’t want
to have too much traffic on it (we promised people who signed up that they
wouldn’t receive many mails via this list), we collected the mails about
tree-planting and have put them all in this mail, from first to last mail. I
hope I caught them all.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;" class="">The prospects of planting trees in rangelands has
generated a good discussion and highlights one of the many reasons why we need
the IYRP to be designated so that more work can be done to fill knowledge gaps
and raise awareness about rangelands and pastoralism. The Government of
Mongolia’s leadership in this regard has been instrumental in achieving great
progress in bringing the IYRP proposal through the FAO approval process and now
to the UN General Assembly.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;

more contributions to this discussion about planting trees in rangelands,

them all into one mail. We hope this will allow discussion to continue but
