Supporting recognition of 2026 as the "International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists".

This resolution supports recognizing 2026 as the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists, as designated by the United Nations. It highlights that rangelands cover about 770 million acres in the U.S. — over a third of the country's land — and are economically vital for producing beef, lamb, wool, and other products. The resolution recognizes the role of ranchers and land managers in stewarding these landscapes, notes that pastoral grazing can reduce wildfire risk by up to 60%, and encourages federal agencies and universities to promote education and research on rangeland management.
