Rangelands and pastoralism must be valued and supported for their contribution to achieve local and global goals – particularly towards reaching Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) More than half of the world’s land mass is rangeland – and yet these landscapes and the people who inhabit and manage them have been largely neglected. They are a main source of food and feed for humanity, and yet they are also the world economy’s dumping ground. It is time to shift perspective – from ‘a rangeland problem’ to ‘a sustainable rangeland solution’. It is time to commit globally to halt indiscriminate rangeland conversion, to pass judicious policies and laws. It is time to reach a global consensus to upgrade rangelands, set stronger LDN targets and allocate funding.
