Since its establishment, IUCN has played a vital role in shaping conservation policies, promoting sustainable development, and raising awareness about environmental challenges.
Its work helps guide global efforts to preserve ecosystems, wildlife, and natural habitats for future generations.
The foundation of IUCN in 1948 marked a significant step towards international cooperation in environmental protection.
