Rangelands are not empty lands. They are living ecosystems that sustain food systems, livelihoods and climate resilience for millions of people worldwide. This video explores living rangelands and pastoralism, highlighting how pastoralist communities use mobility, traditional knowledge and sustainable livestock management to regenerate landscapes, protect biodiversity, and secure food and water in dryland regions.
Discover how:
- Rangelands store carbon, regulate water and support diverse plant and animal life
- Pastoralists manage rangeland regeneration through planned grazing and seasonal livestock movement
- Livestock mobility prevents land degradation and strengthens ecosystem resilience
- Flood-based water harvesting and agropastoral practices enhance food security
- Pastoralist knowledge contributes directly to climate action and sustainable development.
Aligned with FAO and UN frameworks, this story shows why pastoralists are not relics of the past, but rather essential partners in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—from Zero Hunger and Climate Action to Life on Land.
