Covering 54% of the Earth's surface and supporting extensive livestock systems, rangelands are crucial yet face threats from agriculture, mining, and urban expansion. It's essential to protect, manage, and restore these areas to preserve their ecological and cultural roles for future generations.<br>Rangelands can include grasslands, deserts, tundra, forests, savannas, shrublands, wetlands, mountains and - often most importantly - water sources.

Rangelands and the people who depend upon them are under threat.<br>Many rangelands have been lost to large-scale crop farming, mineral extraction, infrastructure development and urban expansion. As rangelands shrink in size and the demand for meat, milk, leather, and animal fibre products continues to grow, there is increasing land use pressure on those fragments that remain.<br>Therefore, it is critical that we protect rangelands, improve governance and management where needed, and restore those that have been degraded.
