Dear G,

The IUCN World Conservation Congress 2025 was a landmark moment for nature. Over 10,000 participants from 189 countries came together across more than 1,000 events, sessions, and exhibits, sharing bold ideas, groundbreaking commitments, and inspiring innovations that will shape conservation for decades to come – a truly global movement in action!
