As COP26 begins, it's crucial to recognize mobile pastoralism as a pioneer in sustainable livestock production. It supports livelihoods, reduces fossil fuel reliance, and plays a vital role in mitigating the climate crisis. By fostering resilient ecosystems and carbon sequestration, mobile pastoralism is an essential pathway toward achieving global net-zero goals. Supporting this system is not only necessary for climate action but also for securing food for hundreds of millions who rely on it. Let’s ensure mobile pastoralists' voices are heard in global climate debates and policies.

Nomadic pastoralists like the Sarıkeçililer help prevent fires through grazing practices that reduce dry grass and leaf litter. Despite their crucial role in combating fires and climate change, they face increasing restrictions on accessing traditional habitats. Protecting pastures and ensuring access is vital for both fire prevention and climate resilience.
