<p class="MsoNormal">We are planning to submit two poster abstracts for presentation at the IGC-IRC 2020. One will focus on the Rangelands Partnership and the other on the International Year of Rangelands & Pastoralists (IYRP) initiative. To this end, we
are looking to identify any Partners or friends who are planning to attend the Congress and who might be willing to help present the posters. Deadlines for submissions are below (and attached).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is also a group considering putting together a panel session and I will be happy to provide more information about that option if you are interested.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please get in touch with me at <a href="mailto:barbarah@cals.arizona.edu">
