The International Union for Conservation of Nature – United States (IUCN-US) builds bridges between US donors and IUCN, by catalyzing, accelerating, funding and promoting IUCN’s work — conserving nature and natural resources in the United States and throughout the world.
Our portfolio is global by design, and supports work aligned with IUCN’s Nature 2030 Program of Work, which was endorsed by IUCN’s members in 2016 at the World Conservation Congress in Hawaii.
