Rangelands
Rangelands are vast, natural landscapes primarily used for grazing livestock and wildlife. They include grasslands, savannas, and shrublands, and are characterized by their open spaces and diverse plant species. These areas are crucial for supporting various ecosystems and provide essential resources like forage for animals.
Rangelands cover about 40% of the Earth's land surface and play a significant role in agriculture and biodiversity. They are often found in regions with low rainfall, making them less suitable for traditional farming. Proper management of rangelands is vital to prevent overgrazing and maintain their ecological balance.
