Mobility Matters: In the Footsteps of Pastoralists And Hunter-gatherer Walking Around the World

Mobility matters for millions of pastoralists and hunter-gatherers around the world who move with their livestock and/or hunt and gather across vast lands of patchily distributed vegetation and water, enabled by a network of routes and reciprocity and cooperation. This session will be both an opportunity to celebrate mobility and to raise and address some of the challenges facing mobility. A series of inspiring films will be shown. It will support the global momentum for the International Year for Rangelands and Pastoralists 2026 as a unique opportunity for the recognition and safeguarding of the mobility of rangelands users.
