Get Involved
Join us in shaping the future of our rangelands by getting involved with the Rangeland Stewardship Council. Share your expertise through consultations, volunteer your time on one of our committees, or become a member to support our ongoing efforts. Your involvement will help shape the practices and policies that protect our natural ecosystems to ensure the health of our rangelands for future generations.
Consultations
The Rangeland Stewardship Council (RSC) believes that consultations are essential for developing effective and inclusive standards that reflect the needs and concerns of all stakeholders. By engaging with diverse voices, including herders and pastoralists, the RSC ensures that its guidelines are not only credible but also adaptable to various legal, social, and geographical contexts.
In line with this commitment, consultations for the Global Rangelands Standard (GRS) are a key component in shaping internationally recognised guidelines. Your feedback is crucial in refining the GRS core principles to address the unique challenges and opportunities in rangeland management across the globe.
"Despite numbering an estimated half a billion individuals worldwide, pastoralist communities are frequently overlooked, lack a voice in policy-making that directly affects their livelihoods, marginalised, and even often seen as outsiders in their own lands."
Committees
The Rangeland Stewardship Council (RSC) operates through a structured governance system designed to ensure inclusive and balanced decision-making in the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of rangeland standards. This structure is supported by three key committees: the Steering Committee (SC), the Standards Setting Committee (SSC), and the Science Technical Committee (STC).
We are seeking individuals with expertise to join the working groups under the Standards Setting Committee (SSC). The SSC develops and refines standards for sustainable rangeland management, with working groups focusing on areas such as Animal Husbandry, Certification, Standards and Assurance, Production & Processing, Decent Work & Human Well-being, and Rangeland Management.
