The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is an organization dedicated to protecting the world’s natural environment and its biodiversity. It brings together governments, NGOs, scientists, and experts to assess the status of species and ecosystems. Through research, policy advice, and conservation programs, the IUCN aims to prevent extinction and promote sustainable use of natural resources. It is also known for maintaining the Red List, which assesses the risk level of different species, helping guide conservation efforts worldwide to ensure a healthy planet for future generations.
