    As part of the Global Call to Action in Indigenous and Community Land Rights, this brief puts the spotlight on the need to secure land rights for the world's pastoralists, as pastoralism is practised by an estimated 200-500 million people. Pastoralists manage rangelands that cover a quarter of the world's land surface but have few advocates.


    "Pastoralists have been widely accused of being economically inefficient and turning their ‘over-grazed’ pastures into deserts. But these presumptions are not based on evidence and are usually very wide of the mark."

    Las vidas de cerca de 2.500 millones de personas dependen de tierras indígenas y comunitarias, que suponen más del 50% de la tierra del planeta; sin embargo, legalmente sólo son dueñas de una quinta parte. Los 5.000 millones de hectáreas restantes están desprotegidos y son vulnerables al acaparamiento por parte de entidades más poderosas como Gobiernos y empresas.

    Près de 2,5 milliards de personnes dépendent de terres autochtones et communautaires représentant plus de la moitié des terres de la planète ; elles n'en détiennent pourtant légalement qu'un cinquième. Les cinq milliards d'hectares restants ne sont pas protégés et sont donc exposés à l'accaparement des terres par des entités plus puissantes, telles que les États et les grandes entreprises.

    Up to 2.5 billion people depend on indigenous and community lands, which make up over 50 percent of the land on the planet; they legally own just one-fifth. The remaining five billion hectares remain unprotected and vulnerable to land grabs from more powerful entities like governments and corporations.
