| Video Discription | #KavitAvedin presented by KavitAvedin The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is an international organization working in the field of nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. It is involved in data gathering and analysis, research, field projects, advocacy, and education. IUCN's mission is to "influence, encourage and assist societies throughout the world to conserve nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable" IUCN was established on 5 October 1948, in France, when representatives of governments and conservation organizations signed a formal act constituting the International Union for the Protection of Nature (IUPN). The initiative to set up the new organisation came from UNESCO and especially from its first Director General, the British biologist Julian Huxley. At the time of its founding IUPN was the only international organisation focusing on the entire spectrum of nature conservation IUPN started out with 65 members in Brussels and was closely associated to UNESCO. They jointly organized the 1949 Conference on Protection of Nature (Lake Success, USA and drafted the first list of gravely endangered species. IUPN was successful in engaging prominent scientists and identifying important issues In 1956, IUPN changed its name to International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. From 1956 to 1965 the IUCN expanded its relations with UN-agencies and established links with the Council of Europe. IUCN's best known publication, the Red Data Book on the conservation status of species, was first published in 1964. IUCN began to play a part in the development of international treaties and conventions, starting with the African Convention on the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. Africa was the first regional focus of IUCN conservation action. Africa was the focus of many of the early IUCN conservation field projects. IUCN supported the ‘Yellowstone model’ of protected area management, which severely restricted human presence and activity in order to protect nature. The IUCN suffered from restricted financing in its early years. To establish a stable financial basis for its work, IUCN participated in setting up the World Wildlife Fund (1961) (now the World Wide Fund for Nature WWF) to work on fundraising to cover part of the operational costs of IUCN. Also in 1961, the IUCN headquarters moved from Belgium to Morges in Switzerland. IUCN was one of the few environmental organisations formally involved in the preparations of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (Stockholm, 1972). The Stockholm Conference eventually led to three new international conventions, with IUCN involved in their drafting and implementation: • Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage (1972). IUCN co-drafted the World Heritage Convention with UNESCO and has been involved as the official Advisory Body on nature from the onset.[8] • CITES- the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (1974) IUCN is a signatory party and the CITES secretariat was originally lodged with IUCN. • Ramsar Convention – Convention on Wetlands of International Importance (1975) IUCN entered into an agreement with the United Nations Environment Programme UNEP to provide regular reviews of world conservation. In 1975 IUCN started work on the World Conservation Strategy. The drafting process – and the discussions with the UN agencies involved – led to an evolution in thinking within IUCN and growing acceptance of the fact that conservation of nature by banning human presence no longer worked. Sustainable development and regionalisation: 1985 to present day – In 1982, IUCN set up a Conservation for Development Centre within its secretariat. Over the years, it supported the development of national conservation strategies in 30 countries. In 1991, IUCN (together with UNEP and WWF) published Caring for the Earth, a successor to the World Conservation Strategy. Social aspects of conservation were now integrated in IUCN's work; at the General Assembly in 1994 the IUCN mission was redrafted to its current wording to include the equitable and ecologically use of natural resources. Since the creation of IUCN in 1948, IUCN Members have passed more than 300 resolutions that include or focus on business related activities. In 2003 the IUCN established Business and Biodiversity Program. In 2008 IUVN Stopped using World Conservation Union as its official name and reverted its name back to International Union for Conservation of Nature In 2012 IUCN publishes a list of the world's 100 most threatened species. In 2016 IUCN created a new membership category for indigenous peoples’ organisations. for more such videos please like share and subscribe to my channel Stay tuned with KavitAvedin this video is really gonna helpful for those who are preparing for UPSC, SSC & others o_8SHhCSUKw |
