IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature)

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is a global organization dedicated to preserving nature and promoting sustainable use of natural resources. Founded in 1948, it brings together governments, NGOs, scientists, and experts to address environmental challenges. IUCN is known for its Red List, which assesses the conservation status of species, helping to identify those at risk of extinction. By providing research, resources, and policy guidance, IUCN plays a crucial role in global conservation efforts, aiming to protect biodiversity and promote sustainable development for future generations.
