The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is advocating for increased efforts to restore rangelands and build resilience against drought, marking World Desertification and Drought Day. The FAO emphasizes the critical role of healthy rangelands in supporting livelihoods and ecosystems, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. Deteriorating rangelands contribute to desertification, impacting food security and increasing vulnerability to climate change. The organization’s call to action highlights the need for sustainable land management practices. These practices aim to reverse land degradation and enhance the ability of communities to cope with prolonged dry periods. The FAO believes prioritizing rangeland restoration is essential for achieving global sustainability goals and protecting vulnerable populations. Further details regarding specific initiatives were not provided in the initial report.
