It notes that grasslands are used for grazing animals, collecting fodder, thatching houses, building farm sheds, and help maintain biodiversity and control soil erosion. However, grassland ecosystems face threats such as overgrazing, conversion to farmland, reduced regeneration from constant grazing, soil erosion, and desertification. The document calls for conservation of these important grassland ecosystems.
