Our services

As part of the world’s largest union for nature conservation, IUCN NL has been operating as an international nature organisation from Amsterdam for over 25 years. We are the Dutch National Committee of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). We develop and implement programmes to safeguard our nature, together with partner organisations worldwide. Our experts also advise companies, organisations and government bodies, for example on how they can effectively contribute to biodiversity restoration.

Programmes for sustainable system change  

IUCN NL has over 25 years of experience in conceiving, designing and guiding sustainable system change. We do this in several countries on four continents, with an extensive partner network. Our extensive experience makes us a partner of choice for developing, coordinating and managing programmes and collaborative initiatives aimed at conserving and restoring nature and biodiversity, and the societies that benefit from them.  

Biodiversity advice for your organisation  

More and more organisations realise that contributing to biodiversity restoration is essential not only for nature, but also for their own future. But how do you translate this ambition into concrete actions? Many companies struggle with a lack of knowledge, time, or resources to effectively integrate biodiversity into their business operations. IUCN NL, as a leading knowledge partner, offers tailored advice to firmly anchor biodiversity in your strategy.  

Dutch National Committee of IUCN  

We represent IUCN in the Netherlands and, as an administrative and independent nature organisation, contribute to IUCN’s international strategy. In doing so, we work closely with other IUCN units, partner organisations and IUCN’s members in the Netherlands. These members consist of nature organisations, scientific institutes and the Dutch government. We bring IUCN members together to discuss visions of Dutch nature, exchange knowledge and establish collaborations.
