International Union for Conservation of Nature

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is a global organization dedicated to preserving natural resources and biodiversity. Established in 1948, it brings together governments, NGOs, scientists, and local communities to develop conservation strategies and policies. The IUCN is known for creating the Red List, which assesses the conservation status of species worldwide, helping to highlight those at risk of extinction. By promoting sustainable practices and influencing environmental policies, the IUCN aims to protect ecosystems and ensure a healthy planet for future generations.
