The World Conservation Union (IUCN)

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is a global organization dedicated to conserving the natural environment and promoting sustainable use of resources. It brings together governments, NGOs, scientists, and experts to assess the state of the world’s plants, animals, and ecosystems. IUCN provides valuable data, develops conservation policies, and supports projects to protect biodiversity, prevent species extinction, and ensure healthy ecosystems. Its Red List of Threatened Species is a widely recognized tool for tracking species' conservation status, helping guide efforts to preserve the planet’s natural diversity for future generations.
