Dear Authors,

We would just like to say thank you to everyone who has been able to submit their full papers. We are very grateful for your continued participation and we look forward to having a successful congress.

As you will recall, the deadline for authors of accepted abstracts for the Joint International Grasslands-International Rangelands Congress to submit full papers was set at 31^st January 2021. As we have all seen, however, 2020 has been a stressful and unpredictable year all around the world, with many of us facing distractions and difficulties.

Based on the request of a number of authors and after careful consideration we have extended the deadline for submission of full papers to 19^th March 2021.

For those of you who are concerned that you may not be able to attend the Congress, we would like assure you that all papers, after completing the review process, will be included in the Congress proceedings, regardless of whether or not you are able to attend the Congress in person.

Authors of oral presentations and poster presentations that have been accepted for the Joint XXIV International Grassland and XI International Rangeland Congress, are now expected to submit their full paper (minimum 3 pp, maximum 4 pp) by March 19^th 2021.  Requirements and the template for the full papers can be found on the Congress web site at http://2021kenya-igc-irc.rangelandcongress.org/?page_id=517
