Together for sustaining life and livelihoods
Since 1948, IUCN has put nature at the centre of human development and well-being, and provided the science, tools, standards and guidelines necessary to conserve the health and integrity of our planet. From community-led forest and landscape restoration initiatives, to integrating indigenous people and women’s voices into international environment agreements; from developing global standards for Nature-based Solutions to strengthening climate resilience of coastal communities, IUCN leverages its diverse funding base to implement conservation projects in nearly 160 countries which advance local and regional sustainable development objectives.
