Restoring Grasslands, Shrublands and Savannahs through Sustainable Extensive Livestock-based Food Systems
गठबंधन स्थायी व्यापक पशुधन-आधारित खाद्य प्रणालियों के माध्यम से घास के मैदानों, झाड़ियों और सवाना को बहाल करने के लिए कार्रवाई का नेतृत्व करेगा, उत्पादन में पर्यावरणीय संसाधनों के उपयोग को अनुकूलित करने, जैव विविधता के नुकसान, प्रदूषण, पानी के उपयोग, मिट्टी की गिरावट और ग्रीनहाउस गैस उत्सर्जन को कम करने में मदद करेगा।
The coalition will identify research needs, gather and share improved data on grasslands, shrublands and savannahs to enable more informed decision making, including investments and particularly restoration investment opportunities to increase adoption and upscaling of good practices. This will foster greater attention in global strategies and frameworks, such as CBD targets.
इस गठबंधन को प्राथमिकता देने के लिए विज्ञान आधारित साक्ष्य
It is clear that while grasslands, shrublands and savannas are recognized as being of great importance as reservoirs of biodiversity, potential carbon sinks and sources of significant animal source foods, there are considerable research needs to identify the full range of opportunities.

कार्यान्वयन के तंत्र
- मौजूदा नेटवर्क पर घास के मैदानों, झाड़ियों और सवाना के निर्माण पर एक बहु-हितधारक मंच को मजबूत करना ताकि उनके मूल्य के बारे में जागरूकता बढ़ाई जा सके, और पशुधन आधारित खाद्य प्रणालियों के माध्यम से उनके संरक्षण, स्थायी उपयोग और बहाली की वकालत की जा सके।
- घास के मैदानों, झाड़ियों और सवाना पर एक वैश्विक डेटा प्लेटफॉर्म का विकास, जिसमें पहले से मौजूद वैश्विक डेटा सेट का समेकन और इन्हें सुधारने और नए बनाने के लिए नए डेटा का संग्रह शामिल है। भूमि परिवर्तन की रिमोट सेंसिंग और डेटा की क्राउड सोर्सिंग सहित निगरानी की सुविधाएं शामिल की जाएंगी। रेंजलैंड की बहाली क्षमता की भी पहचान की जाएगी।
- Development and documentation of good practices in the restoration of grasslands, shrublands and savannahs through extensive nature-positive livestock production/food systems.
- Awareness raising at global, national and local levels of the value of extensive livestock production/food systems and their role (actual and potential) in protecting and restoring grasslands, shrublands and savannahs including the inclusion of grassland, shrublands and savannahs in the new CBD targets and the declaration of an International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists.
- Improving investments in restoration of grasslands, shrublands and savannahs including public, commercial and private finance and improvements in the enabling environment through national and global dialogues to ensure sustainability.
रणनीतिक साझेदार
The proposed Coalition of Action arises out of the Working Group of the UN FSS Solution Cluster on Restoring grasslands, shrublands and savannahs through sustainable extensive livestock-based food systems
Countries that would be likely to be involved in this coalition include the Government of Mongolia, which is leading the call for the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (including written support from governments of Ethiopia, Australia, Afghanistan, Burkino Faso, Finland, Jordan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan), the members states attending a recent discussion on UNCCD targets organised IUCN and WWF, and the Governments of Sudan, Namibia and Ethiopia who lead the UNEA Resolution on “Combating desertification and land degradation and ensuring the sustainable management of rangelands” (UNEP/EA2/L24). Time did not allow for us to approach them before submission of this document.
There is significant support for this coalition globally amongst multiple stakeholders, expressed in the global support given to the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (with over 50 international and local organisations supporting) and the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration in which Grasslands, Shrublands and Savannahs have been identified as one of the six ecosystems requiring specific and urgent attention. These ecosystems will also be receiving attention in the upcoming COPs. Further this coalition will develop links with and complement the work the Global Agenda on Sustainable Livestock’s action network Restoring Value to Grasslands, and the WWF-led multi-stakeholder global Platform on Grasslands and Savannahs, as well as contribute to developing the global Rangelands Data Platform and the recently launched global Rangelands Atlas.

Further details will be developed as part of the implementation plan in consultation with existing fora as listed in this document. A continuous monitoring system will be established to facilitate iterative improvements and learning from research and practices around the world.
