Description
Founded in 1948, The World Conservation Union brings together States, government
agencies and a diverse range of non-governmental organizations in a unique world partnership: over 900 members in all, spread across some 138 countries.
As a Union, IUCN seeks to influence, encourage and assist societies throughout the world to conserve the integrity and diversity of nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable. A central secretariat
coordinates the IUCN Programme and serves the Union membership, representing
their views on the world stage and providing them with the strategies, services, scientific knowledge and technical support they need to achieve their goals. Through its six Commissions, IUCN draws together over 10,000 expert volunteers in project teams
and action groups, focusing in particular on species and biodiversity conservation
and the management of habitats and natural resources. The Union has helped
many countries to prepare National Conservation Strategies, and demonstrates the application of its knowledge through the field projects it supervises. Operations are
increasingly decentralized and are carried forward by an expanding network of regional and country offices, located principally in developing countries.
The World Conservation Union builds on the strengths of its members, networks and
partners to enhance their capacity and to support global alliances to safeguard natural
resources at local, regional and global levels
