Travelling south from Antananarivo, the REPAiR project team are observing & documenting the species of grasses we find by the roadside.
Certain grasses are important for maintaining healthy livestock, and using fire and grazing patterns can help to promote new fresh growth.

“As voluntary carbon markets evolve [..], we must be aware of how this process can affect not only how rangelands and pastoralism are ‘seen’ and valued within climate governance discourse & policy spaces, but how responsibilities and challenges associated with climate change itself are distributed”
17 June is our next online discussion on #RangelandMyths. This time, we'll explore the myth that 'healthy ecosystems are green'.
Our latest newsletter includes links to a new think-piece, registration for the event, a podcast and other news: repairproject.substack.com/p/rangeland-...
The irony: conservation involving fenced-off 'hard boundaries' can lead to shrinking space for wildlife.
@tekgw.bsky.social explored findings from Kenya and Tanzania at our February event on #rangelandmyths about Mobility.

#IYRP2026
In the UN International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP) and the Year of the Woman Farmer, pastoralist women will gather from around the world to strengthen solidarity, share solutions, develop a shared policy agenda, and elevate women’s leadership in rangeland and pastoralist futures.
