IUCN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature
The first global environmental organization, IUCN helps the world find pragmatic solutions to our most pressing environment and development challenges. It supports scientific research, manages field projects all over the world and brings governments, non-government organizations, United Nations agencies, companies and local communities together to develop and implement policy, laws and best practice.
IUCN is the world’s oldest and largest global environmental network – a democratic membership union with more than 1,000 government and NGO member organizations, and almost 11,000 volunteer scientists in more than 160 countries. The Union’s headquarters are located in Gland, near Geneva, in Switzerland.
Tools for Organizations
IUCN databases, research tools and management guides – particularly on species, biodiversity, ecosystems and protected areas – are global standards in their fields. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ for example has regularly and comprehensively assessed the extinction risk of animal and plant species for over 40 years.
IUCN Business / Industry & Biodiversity
IUCN seeks to influence, encourage and assist businesses to conserve the integrity and diversity of nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable, efficient and ecologically sustainable.
IUCN has one of the world’s most comprehensive ranges of authoritative publications, reports, guidelines and databases for conservation and sustainable development publishing or co-authoring more than 150 books and major assessments every year, along with hundreds of other reports, documents and guidelines. Many are available for download.
IUCN provides policy guidance (position papers and information papers) for major environmental conventions and conferences available on-line.
