It will replace Figure 3 in that report. We also plan to blow it up for posters and banners, and it can be used in any IYRP presentation. </div><div><br></div><div>The figures were chosen from a set provided by many of the RISG or from our IYRP archives. Due to the shape and size of the graphic, we were only able to select a total of 24 pictures. We selected them on the basis of the following criteria:</div><div><br></div><div>1. that they were representative of the typical rangeland biomes around the world (using the ILRI et al. 2019 classification provided in the Rangeland Atlas). Each biome has at least 3 photos from around the world. </div><div>2. Making sure that each RISG region has at least 2 pictures</div><div>3. The photos show the rangeland type, perhaps some animals and people - the main focus is on the rangeland type. Most are in the growing season, but there are some that are in winter, and one (Canada) shows a mix of good and degraded land</div><div>4. The photos were of high quality and clear</div><div>5. The entire collection was aesthetically pleasing, shows diversity of both rangelands and livestock, and the captions are interesting. </div><div><br></div><div><b>I would like your final inputs now, with the following specific request:</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>> Is there a range type that is underrepresented or missing ?
