IUCN's Crossroads blog is a platform for IUCN Members and partners to exchange ideas and opinions on some of today's most topical and controversial issues related to nature. As many of the biggest global challenges are closely related to the destruction of the natural world, we feel that today such a platform is needed more than ever.
