[Risgchairs] update on RISG activities

[Ann Waters-Bayer]

And may I add that we are currently developing an IYRP 2026 Newsletter for the International Grassland Congress (IGC) in Kentucky, USA, this May and would like to be able to link to the latest news update from all the RISGs. 

Cheers,
Ann

This activity will be led by our Australian colleagues and we will support them. We hope that this forum that will take place a few days before the IRC in Australia will be attended by pastoralists and other traditional knowledge holders from different regions of the world. We thus need to assess how we can assist by raising funds for pastoralists to attend.
