Membership

Who can become a Member?

 Membership to IUCN is open to States, Government agencies, Political or Economic integration organisations, and national and international non-governmental organisations. An organisation applying for membership to the Union must have as one of its central purposes the achievement of IUCN’s mission and must show a substantial record of activity in the conservation of nature and natural resources.

Individuals can become members of the six IUCN Commissions:
• The Species Survival Commission (SSC)
• World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA)
• Commission on Environmental Law (CEL)
• Commission on Ecosystems Management (CEM)
• Commission on Education and Communication (CEC)
• Environment, Economics and Social Policy (CEESP)
