<div class=""><i class="">We are very sad to hear of the sudden
passing of Jim O’Rourke on 5 March 2024. Jim spearheaded the
initiative for the United Nations designation of 2026 as the
International Year of Rangelands & Pastoralists. Attached is
a eulogy to this remarkable man, whose passion for rangelands
continued to burn into his 82nd year.</i></div>
