[RangelandsPartnership] RP Press Release - International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists

[Hutchinson, Barbara S - (bhutchin)]

Greetings Rangelands Partnership!

As you may know, we are part of a growing group of organizations and stakeholders from around the world working to gain support for a UN designation for an International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists.  Attached is a Press Release from SRM, International Rangelands Congress, International Grasslands Congress, and our Partnership officially announcing our support for this effort and for the recent UNEA-2 resolution promoting sustainable pastoralism and rangelands.

We hope you will help us in getting the word out by distributing this Press Release through your communication outlets.  For more information, check out our IYRP web page at:
http://globalrangelands.org/international-year-rangelands-and-pastoralists-initiative and our Member site: http://uwyoextension.org/rwpmembers/

We are also pleased to announce a special Workshop on the IYRP to be held at the 2017 SRM annual meeting.  This workshop will include updates on worldwide IYRP engagement, and presentations and group discussions on outreach plans. We will let you know the date and time as soon as it is set.  Stay tuned...and check for updates in the monthly RP Newsletter!

Please let us know if you have questions about this process.  We hope to hear from many of you about interest in the IYRP.

Best regards,
Barb and Lovina
