Thanks to our work, nature is coming back to life. The Red List of Threatened Species™ is the world’s regular health check for plants and animals, with more than 55,000 species already assessed. We help bring endangered plants and animals back from the brink, reduce carbon emissions from some sources, improve water quality, and create national parks, marine protected areas, and World Heritage sites.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources – United States (IUCN-US) is a partner organization of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), an organization that has celebrated over 60 years of helping the world find real solutions to our most pressing environment and development challenges, and with which we share a common mission.
IUCN-US works closely with and supports a number of projects administered by IUCN and other partner organizations with similar missions. IUCN-US has been supporting IUCN and its network of members and partners for over 25 years. We provide financial support for scientific and educational activities, field projects and efforts to develop and implement policy, laws and best practices to advance conservation initiatives around the world. As the world’s oldest and largest global environmental organization, IUCN has an unparalleled leadership position to influence the direction of conservation and sustainable development.
But we need to do much more – and your support is vital. Support Us
