IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas

The IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) is a global organization that focuses on the protection and sustainable management of natural areas like parks, reserves, and wildlife habitats. It brings together experts, policymakers, and local communities to share knowledge, develop best practices, and promote effective conservation strategies. The WCPA aims to ensure that protected areas contribute to biodiversity preservation, ecological health, and human well-being, balancing environmental needs with economic and social considerations. It plays a key role in guiding global efforts to conserve nature for future generations.
