The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is the world's oldest and largest organization dedicated to the conservation of nature and natural resources. Founded in 1948, it is headquartered in Gland, Switzerland, and brings together over 1,400 members including governments, public agencies, NGOs, and academic institutions from around the world.
IUCN's primary objective is to promote biodiversity conservation and the sustainable use of natural resources by supporting global environmental policies based on sound science. The organization works as a bridge between the scientific community, governments, and civil society, providing technical and regulatory support on issues such as protected areas, threatened species, and climate change. |
