IUCN welcomes Republic of Iraq as new State Member The Government of the Republic of Iraq has officially announced its decision to join IUCN by endorsing the IUCN Statutes. The Ministry of Environment has been designated by the Government of the Republic of Iraq as its liaison with the IUCN Secretariat.
IUCN extends its warmest welcome to the Republic of Iraq, a country that slopes from mountains and descends to marshes at sea level. It is ecologically diverse, with habitats that vary from dry mountains and forests in the northeastern Kurdish area, to alluvial Mesopotamian marshes of southern Iraq. Desert areas, which cover about 60% of the geography of Iraq, vary considerably between different parts of the country in vegetation, rainfall, and elevation. > Learn more about our new State Member from the Republic of Iraq
