From every corner of the globe, more than 1,500 governments and organisations in over 160 countries have united under IUCN to drive real change for nature. Together, we share knowledge, shape policy, and turn ambition into action, strengthening every Member's ability to influence the global conservation agenda and take part in projects that protect life on Earth. Discover, in their own words, why Members around the world have chosen to join this global movement.
IUCN is a brand name and being a Member gives us that leverage to work with other organisations and also follow the IUCN standards

IUCN membership provides an opportunity to connect my organization with other organizations and exchange support through networking. I am connected to the world of conservation just by sitting in my office.

IUCN's international credibility helps a lot. It provides networking opportunities during Regional Conservation Foras and World Conservation Congresses. IUCN Commissions are doing good work and me being a part of 3 of these Commissions has helped my organisation.
The Corbett Foundation, India
Our membership increases the quality of our work, both outputs (in association with IUCN) and outcomes as we have access to high quality guides, materials, and standards. It also empowers our organisation nationally being part of the IUCN network.
