Celebrating rangelands and their stewards

To celebrate the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists, we’re inviting photographers from across the world to tell powerful visual stories of these landscapes and the people who steward them.  

So, get your cameras ready and show us what rangelands and pastoralism are all about  and stand a chance to win up to USD 500 and more! 

Every donation counts – no matter the amount. Thank you for supporting restoration leaders.
