Influence
IUCN's ever-growing influence is a result of working with its members. The Union, driven by its mission, reflects the diverse needs of its vast membership and its commitment to the conservation and sustainable use of the Earth's Resources.
 
Collective Voice
Through IUCN, members become part of a collective and global voice on important issues of our age. The Union convenes the World Conservation Congress and other platforms for discussing conservation issues.

Partnerships and networks
Members are able to develop partnerships by being part of an alliance of governments and NGOs. Members also have the possibility to expand their networks through international contacts with the Union's staff, experts and other members.

Knowledge and increased capacity
Members can strengthen their credibility and capacity through their association with a respected conservation alliance of key scientists, decision-makers and managers.
