The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (commonly known as the World Conservation Union) is a nongovernmental organization (NGO). It serves as a conservation network for the governments of 82 states, including 111 government agencies, more than 800 other NGOs, and thousands of scientists and experts from around the world. As an environmentalist and conservationist group, the Union has four broad categories of policy action:

• Species (such as species conservation)
• Equity and justice (including economics and social policy interests)
• Ecosystems
• Cross-cutting issues (such as biodiversity policies, business, climate and change, and education and communication)

To those ends, the Union participates in knowledge dissemination programs, policy advice, and action-based programs in conservatories and parks around the world. The headquarters is in Gland, Switzerland, and there are further staff in 62 states.
