Announcement – exploring rangeland myths in 2026
Through 2026, the REPAiR is hosting a series of activities and events to explore ‘rangeland myths’ in global perspective. We offer an open invitation to get involved, share your experiences and stories, and help us to rethink what we think we know about rangelands and pastoralism.
Global survey on rangeland myths
We are interested in understanding what forms myths take in different contexts, places, policies and spaces of debate. How are they used and by whom? What corrective knowledge and alternative stories exist, and how can they be amplified? Take our short survey in English, French, Spanish and Italian to share your knowledge and experiences of rangeland myths.
