The International Union for Conservation of Nature

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is a global organization dedicated to nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. Founded in 1948, it brings together governments, NGOs, scientists, and experts to address environmental challenges. The IUCN is known for its “Red List,” which assesses the conservation status of species worldwide. Through research, policy advocacy, and on-the-ground projects, the IUCN seeks to protect biodiversity, promote sustainable practices, and support communities dependent on natural resources, ensuring a healthier planet for both nature and people.
