North America

IUCN in North America unlocks the power of the larger union, supplying knowledge, tools, and best practices to help inform and influence conservation efforts in the United States and Canada. Threats to the region include biodiversity loss, droughts and flooding, forest fires, growing populations, among many others, some of which are being made worse due to a changing climate. We represent a large portion of the overall IUCN membership, with over 150 members of the Union including government agencies, non-profits, as well over 3,000 IUCN Commission members based in North America working together to help tackle these problems.

IUCN North America works with IUCN Members in the United States and Canada to align conservation policies, provide platforms to share best practices and conservation impact, and to mobilize resources to benefit conservation efforts in region and globally. 

IUCN US Fund

IUCN US Fund provides a vehicle for U.S.-based donors looking to expand the impact of their support for conservation at a global scale. A gift to the IUCN US Fund does more than benefit a single organization — it supports our more than 1,400 Members working to effect durable change around the world.
