<p class="MsoNormal">I would encourage tweaking this language, as "involving" Indigenous Peoples doesn't fully capture the idea of co-equal partnerships explicit to the concept of "knowledge co-production" and it could afford an easy avenue for delegates to
pay mere lip service through "consultation".<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Dear IYRP Friends<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The International Rangeland Congress is meeting 2-6 June 2025 in Adelaide Australia. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The theme of the Congress is <b>‘Working Together for our Global Rangelands Future</b>’.<br>
(<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/irc2025.rangelandcongress.org/__;!!KwNVnqRv!ABTq-9asafGggpqIjYgqns0ePbPGy6ZXU474S8NSPNuj18YiGYdJ6eKqPs3veGV9V_2EmmrYj0KIG7weGksEub1UaFw$">https://irc2025.rangelandcongress.org</a>). The Congress sub-themes include: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>> Valuing rangelands and pastoral systems for their societal contribution; <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>> Co-design, partnerships, and incorporating traditional knowledge for more enduring rangeland outcomes<br>
> Technology, information systems, communication, and big data to aid monitoring and decision making<br>
> Integrating rangeland ecology into management<br>
> Managing risk – climate and other system shocks and trends<br>
> Livestock production systems in a world of changing drivers<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>> Multi-functional land use in rangelands – moving beyond niche opportunities<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The IRC 2025 is an important event that can contribute to achieving positive impact on healthy rangelands and livelihoods of pastoralists in 2026 and beyond. Many members of the IYRP Global Alliance are attending the congress in person. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The IYRP Global Alliance has an opportunity to submit draft resolutions that will be considered and voted upon by delegates at the end of the Congress. A draft of 5 possible resolutions has been drawn up by the IYRP Global Secretariat as a starter, and we
seek your inputs as members of the IYRP Global Alliance to refine and improve it. Please add more resolutions if you feel something is missing. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>All comments received by 14th May 2025 </b>will be incorporated into a final set of resolutions and submitted to the Congress by the Co-Chairs of the Global Alliance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thank you.<o:p></o:p></p>
