IUCN

The IUCN, or International Union for Conservation of Nature, is an organization that assesses the conservation status of plants, animals, and ecosystems worldwide. They classify species based on their risk of extinction, such as "Least Concern," "Vulnerable," or "Endangered." This helps identify which species need urgent protection and guides global conservation efforts. The IUCN also provides scientific data, policy advice, and supports efforts to sustain biodiversity, ensuring ecosystems remain healthy and resilient for future generations.
