International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is a global organization dedicated to environmental conservation. Founded in 1948, it brings together governments, NGOs, scientists, and experts to promote sustainable development and protect nature. The IUCN is well-known for its Red List, which assesses the conservation status of species worldwide, helping identify those at risk of extinction. By sharing knowledge, guiding policies, and supporting local communities, the IUCN works to balance the needs of people and the environment, ensuring that natural resources are used responsibly for future generations.
