This article introduces the IYRP and associated Global Alliance by describing their origins, goals and activities. Motivation for the IYRP emerged from the need to transform misguided myths portraying rangelands as having marginal value and pastoralism as backward and inefficient. The Alliance seeks to accomplish its goals through participation in global, regional and national events and by promoting strategic investment and policy. Policy recommendations will be presented to international and national governing bodies and at major global conferences in 2026 and beyond.

K-12 Educational Materials
As part of the Désertif'actions summit from 25 to 28 March 2026 dedicated to "Territorial Resilience in the Face of Crises", a public awareness campaign was launched based on press cartoons in the form of a prize-winning competition. The theme of the Désertif'actions 2026 summit cartoon competition focused on "pastoralism, mobility at the heart of balance". "Choosing pastoralism as the theme for a press cartoon competition highlights its richness and complexity, its deep roots in the history of these regions, and the challenges and solutions it presents for millions of people living on land and in natural spaces that have not yet been developed." - (CARI).
