Key Features of the Site
Red List of Threatened Species
The IUCN Red List is a critical indicator of the health of the world’s biodiversity. Far more than a list of species and their status, it is a powerful tool to inform and catalyze action for biodiversity conservation and policy change, critical to protecting the natural resources we need to survive.
Protected Planet
Protected Planet is the most up to date and complete source of data on protected areas, updated monthly with submissions from governments, non-governmental organizations, landowners and communities.
Conservation Tools
IUCN provides a suite of conservation tools to support conservation planning and decision-making, including the Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool (IBAT), the Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) Programme, and the Species Information Service (SIS).
Global Standards
IUCN develops global standards for the conservation and sustainable use of nature, such as the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems and the IUCN Green List of Protected and Conserved Areas.
Policy and Advocacy
IUCN influences environmental policy and action at all levels, from local to global, through its unique position as a membership Union and its role as the official advisor on nature to the UNESCO World Heritage Committee.
