Rangelands (grassland, savannahs and silvo-pastoral systems) in dry areas and mountains account for the largest global restoration opportunities for ecosystems, human and environmental health, and economic growth. Restoring them and their biodiversity should be a priority for global “One Health” approaches. This session will explore the following questions: What is the existing and potential productivity and ecosystem service provision of biodiverse rangelands? What are the overall benefits of “One Health” to rangelands and people? How can we mobilize commitment for enhanced biodiversity and “One Health” in rangelands across the globe?
