<br>
<span style="background:white">With this email we would like to ask your assistance in responding to a short questionnaire regarding gaps in information and knowledge on rangelands and pastoralists. We are sorry for possible cross-posting.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">The objective of the survey is to assess how organisations collect and perceive available information on rangelands and pastoralism. It is a follow up to the UN Environment Assembly resolution 24 passed in 2016, which requests
 UN Environment and its partners to conduct a gap analysis on rangelands and pastoralists.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">This gap analysis is coordinated by a small team consisting of UN Environment, GRID-Arendal and Maryam Niamir-Fuller (independent expert). The survey is one out of several methods we are using to collect data.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">If you have already completed and submitted your response, thank you for your valuable feedback. If not, could you please spare 5-10 minutes to complete the questionnaire available here: </span></span><a href="https://bit.ly/2wBSnJR" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1155CC;background:white">https://bit.ly/2wBSnJR</span></a><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222"><br>

<span style="background:white">Input from you/your organization is important to us. If you do not have capacity to respond to the survey, we hope you will forward this email to one of your colleagues. We would be grateful if you could submit the questionnaire
