The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) brings together governments, conservation, and a diverse range of non-governmental organizations in a pan-continental partnership. This partnership has over 1000 members and is spread across some 160 countries.
By this union, since 1948 IUCN has influenced, encouraged and assisted 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.
