IUCN Global Species Programme

The IUCN Global Species Programme is an initiative by the International Union for Conservation of Nature that works to assess and protect the world's plants, animals, and fungi. It provides scientific data on species' conservation status, highlighting which are at risk of extinction. The programme helps prioritize conservation efforts, guides policies, and raises awareness about biodiversity loss. By monitoring species globally, it aims to promote actions that preserve the rich diversity of life on Earth, ensuring future generations can enjoy and benefit from healthy, thriving ecosystems.
