Fontainebleau
A total of 18 governments, 7 international organizations, and 107 local conservation organizations attended the meeting, and the meeting decided to co-sign the "constitutive act", the International Union for Conservation of Nature (then known as the International Union for the Protection of Nature, French: union internationale pour la conservation de la nature).
Since its establishment, the Alliance's primary strategic and institutional purpose has been to expand and promote mutually beneficial conservation and management arrangements in line with the rapid development of the world, while helping people and countries to better protect animal and plant resources.

IUCN is committed to helping the world focus on its most pressing environmental and development problems and find effective nature-based solutions to them. Its main mission is to influence, encourage and assist scientists and communities around the world to protect the integrity and diversity of natural resources, including saving endangered plant and animal species, establishing national parks and protected areas, assessing the conservation status of species and ecosystems, and ensuring that any use of natural resources is balanced and ecologically sustainable. IUCN focuses on protecting biodiversity and ensuring sustainable use of biological resources, developing strategies and programmes for the conservation and management of forests, wetlands, coasts and Marine resources.

(6) Member institutions of the Alliance
IUCN's more than 1,000 member institutions meet every four years at the World Conservation Conference (the Alliance General Assembly), where members express their views, guide Alliance policies and approve programs.
In order to enhance cooperation among members, coordinate the work of IUCN institutions, promote membership participation in programmes and facilitate the smooth administration of IUCN, IUCN members within the same country, region or local area may form committees. Proposals from such national or regional committees must comply with IUCN regulations.
IUCN's three pillars:
Full-time secretariat, alliance member institutions, six expert committees

IUCN is committed to finding pragmatic solutions for a world full of environmental pressures and development challenges. By supporting scientific research and conducting field projects around the world, IUCN brings together UN agencies, governments,
NGO
Invite companies together, formulate policies, regulations, and find
Best practice
. IUCN focuses on assessing and protecting the value of nature, guaranteed
Natural resources
Use effective and equitable governance and apply Nature-based solutions to global challenges such as climate, food and development. IUCN's work always takes into account the interests of humanity, namely the conservation of nature and natural resources in the context of sustainable development.
The projects of the Alliance are driven by its mission and the aspirations and needs of its members. The members of each country or region meet regularly to carry out and promote the implementation of these projects, and the Alliance never attempts to interfere from the outside. Instead, the coalition works with the people concerned to help them understand
The crux
And find a solution. There is usually a need for comprehensive consideration, involving all the risk takers involved in the matter, regardless of their position, and for this to take place multiple discussions must be undertaken. The Alliance provides solid scientific knowledge and technology, and takes into account political and cultural factors, including social skills for regulating conflict and working with groups and institutions.
IUCN is a leader in traditional areas of nature conservation, such as:
(1) Saving endangered species of plants and animals;
(2) Establishment of national parks and protected areas;
(3) To assess the conservation and recovery of species and ecosystems.
But IUCN is also growing outside its traditional boundaries. In many parts of the planet, the Alliance believes that the sustainable use of natural resources is a good way to protect nature, which makes those who use natural resources to meet their basic needs become guardians of conservation.
The environment protected by the Alliance includes the terrestrial environment and the Marine environment. The Alliance focuses on developing strategies and programmes for the conservation and management of forests, wetlands, coasts and Marine resources. The Alliance's pioneering role in promoting the development of the concept of biodiversity has made it a driving force
Convention on biological Diversity
It has become an important role in national and even global implementation.

On the evening of July 21, 2022, the International Union for Conservation of Nature issued an update report on the global Species Red Catalog, declaring the extinction of the paddlefish and the extinction of the Yangtze River sturgeon in the wild.

Since the 1960s, IUCN has been active in environmental law, helping to draft a number of international conventions as well as national environmental legislative frameworks. Alliance based in Germany
Bonn
The Environmental Law Center is one of the world's largest and most comprehensive databases on environmental law and policy.
Since 1980, IUCN has helped more than 50 governments and other agencies develop conservation strategies as an integrated approach to decision-making and planning. The alliance is now building regional networks to implement these strategies.
In the 1990s IUCN's work shifted more towards social policy, which was much of the practical conservation work as well as natural resource management
