IUCN: It's too late to stop now

Abstract

IUCN is the driving force for the development of a World Wide strategy for the conservation and wise use of the planets natural resources. With over 300 projects in almost every country of the world, it is uniquely possitioned to tackle environmental problems on a National and International Level. IUCN draws from the wide level of experience of many international institutions. One of it's successes was it's ability to save some of the world's most endangered species from extinction. It was also successful in developing several organisations and treaties such as the "World's Heritage Convention", and "RAMSAR", which was set up to protect and ensure wise use of the world's wetlands.
