The 국제자연보호연맹 (IUCN) is a global organization dedicated to the conservation of nature and the sustainable use of natural resources. Founded in 1948, it brings together governments, NGOs, scientists, and experts to address environmental challenges. The IUCN is known for its work in assessing the conservation status of species and ecosystems, providing valuable data for decision-makers. One of the IUCN's key initiatives is the 적색 목록 (Red List), which evaluates the risk of extinction for various species. This list helps raise awareness about biodiversity loss and guides conservation efforts worldwide. The IUCN also promotes international cooperation to protect natural habitats and wildlife.
