Rangelands cover half the Earth's land surface and sustain over two billion people. Up to 50% are now degraded or at risk. On #DesertificationAndDroughtDay, the @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres calls for urgent action to restore our land. #RestoringLand #United4Land

Our rangelands are under pressure, and so are the communities who depend on them. #DesertificationAndDroughtDay is a reminder that protecting rangelands means protecting climate resilience, water security, biodiversity, livelihoods and cultural identity.
