About IUCN

IUCN was founded in 1948 and has since grown to become the largest and most diverse environmental network in the world, utilizing the expertise, connections, and resources of its more than 1,400 Member groups and 15,000 specialists. IUCN is the foremost authority on the state of the natural world and the steps that must be taken to protect it due to its diversity and depth of knowledge.

• We are a trusted repository of best practices, tools, and worldwide standards thanks to our large membership, which also allows us to incubate ideas. We offer a neutral setting where organizations representing indigenous peoples, local communities, corporations, and NGOs can collaborate to address environmental issues and promote sustainable development.
• IUCN carries out a sizable and varied portfolio of conservation initiatives all over the world in collaboration with several partners and supporters. These initiatives attempt to stop habitat loss, restore ecosystems, and boost human wellbeing by fusing the most recent scientific findings with local communities’ traditional knowledge.
