<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear All</div><div><br></div><div>Now that the IYRP 12 global themes have been revised and updated, and recently shared by Igshaan with the IYRP International Support Group, it is time for us to consider how to prepare the global campaign around these 12 themes for 2026. One theme per month; one message per day !</div><div><br></div><div>I have been collecting good information from the RISGs (thank you all who contributed) with examples on how to convey the key messages. </div><div><br></div><div><u>We now need the expertise of the entire communications team to weigh in and help us develop this global campaign.</u></div><div><br></div><div>I would like to propose a zoom meeting in early May to help us get started. For the RISGs, please ensure that your communications team is copied and will participate. I am including the IYRP Working Group Chairs and encourage them to identify communications expertise within their groups to also participate. And I very much welcome the participation of Claudia Forte Diaz, who will be heading the communications efforts of FAO on IYRP. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Here is a doodle poll for participants to indicate their availability on 5-7th May 2025 for one hour. </b></div><div><b><a href="https://doodle.com/group-poll/participate/egMp8kZb">https://doodle.com/group-poll/participate/egMp8kZb</a></b></div><div><br></div><div>Attached are two documents:</div><div>a) the final 12 global themes and key messages</div><div>b) an excel sheet compiling examples, case studies, films, etc. offered by RISGs and the IYRP Working Groups so far to animate the messages.</div><div><br></div><div>Looking forward to an exciting meeting</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">*...*...*...*<div>Dr. Maryam Niamir-Fuller<div><br></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial">Support the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists 2026 <a href="https://www.iyrp.info" target="_blank">https://www.iyrp.info</a></span></i><i><span style="font-size:10pt"><u></u><u></u></span></i></p>
