Sharing a collection of heartfelt testimonials, our new documentary directed by Concha Salguero, provides valuable insights into the present state of local wool sector in Spain and presents compelling solutions #IYRP2026 https://t.co/1W7Jyd9Zce

World Heritage sites include several landscapes & a % of these include mobile pastoral systems. Pastoralism in #worldheritage sites is not evenly spread across the world but concentrated in a few centres of activity & countries in a wide economic spectrum: https://t.co/elFFwfeWdP

Nomadic way of life in the Uvs Nuur Basin in Mongolia & the Russian Federation has been seriously impacted by economic and political regimes in recent years and the pastoralist way of life is now at threat: https://t.co/elFFwfeWdP #worldheritage #mobilepastoralism

Collaborative management & a balanced approach to modernity in the Laponian Area of Sweden ensure preservation of the millennia-old annual migration of reindeer herds within a natural landscape by the indigenous Sámi people: https://t.co/elFFwfeWdP

Centuries of mobile pastoralism in the harsh, fragile environment of Lake Turkana National Parks are under threat from unsuitable rangeland management, unregulated wood harvesting and uncontrolled livestock stocking levels. Read more here: https://t.co/elFFweXkPf

In Khangchendzonga National Park traditional practices + knowledge have been negatively impacted by wider socio-economic changes & by policies for environmental protection. Read the full case study in our new report: https://t.co/elFFwfeWdP

[Roads Less Travelled Global @RLTGlobal]

Some World Heritage sites have identified nomadic pastoralism as one of the values to be addressed through management + designation. Case studies exemplify both successful approaches & others where the future of mobile pastoralism remains doubtful: https://t.co/elFFweXkPf

[Roads Less Travelled Global @RLTGlobal]

Mobile pastoralism can and does exist successfully alongside and as a key management element in many semi-natural ecosystems.

Mobile pastoralism is declining and under pressure in large parts of the world, although important pastoralist communities remain in many places. Read about Qinghai Hoh Xil, China, a controversial addition to the World Heritage list, in our report: https://t.co/elFFwfeWdP

[Roads Less Travelled Global @RLTGlobal]

In World Heritage sites #mobilepastoralists are seen as ranging from being integral to the successful stewardship of a site to being blamed for land degradation, leading to forced removal. Clear safeguards are required: https://t.co/elFFweXkPf

[Roads Less Travelled Global @RLTGlobal]

The World Heritage Convention’s focus on protecting both #NatureCulture values gives it a unique perspective regarding site based conservation approaches - perspectives which can be applied to considering the sustainability + future of mobile pastoralism. https://t.co/elFFwfeWdP

Our new report with @YoldaInitiative Pablo Urivelarrea & Semiha Demirbaş Çağlayan looks at the benefits of mobile pastoralism for nature - such as the connectivity between protected areas & wider landscapes ensured by the movement herds: https://t.co/vcxygpEWMu 📸@BKoca_FineArt

In 2018 an agreement made with Concejo de la Mesta Association allowed public land to be more accessible, making the migration of 1,500 sheep and goats from #dehesas of #Guadarrama to the #Picos mountains in #León possible: https://t.co/O3q1qtzWYC @TrashumanciayN #RootedEverday
