The Kandy Declaration is out!A historic milestone shaped through years of grassroots organising by the Nyéléni Alliance, and one that strongly recognises the struggles, rights, and contributions of mobile Indigenous peoples and pastoralists.At the 3rd Nyéléni Global Forum in Sri Lanka, more than 700 delegates came together to reaffirm a shared political agenda for food sovereignty, justice, dignity and life. WAMIP was proud to bring a diverse delegation of pastoralists from across the world, ensuring that our voices, knowledge, and realities were reflected in this global vision.🐐 Pastoralist priorities reflected in the Declaration:• Recognition of pastoralists as guardians of the commons, wild flora and fauna, and key defenders of biodiverse territories.• Endorsement by sister movements — including fisherfolk, peasants, Indigenous peoples, women’s and youth movements — for WAMIP and other pastoralist organisations to convene a Global Pastoralist Gathering during the International Year of Rangelands & Pastoralists (IYRP) 2026.• A shared commitment to resist the systems driving ecological collapse and land grabbing, and to strengthen solidarity economies, autonomy, and peoples' rights.This Declaration is a collective political compass for global movements, and a reminder that pastoralists are central to building just, ethical, caring, and sustainable futures.Read the Kandy Declaration in multiple languages via the link in bio.🏽 In solidarity with all movements shaping food sovereignty and defending life.#KandyDeclaration #Nyeleni #FoodSovereignty #Pastoralists #WAMIP #IYRP2026 #Commons #IndigenousPeoples #MobilePastoralists #IndigenousNomads #PastoralistRights
