IUCN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature

IUCN has one of the world’s most comprehensive ranges of authoritative publications, reports, guidelines and databases for conservation and sustainable development.

We publish or co-author more than 100 books and major assessments every year, along with hundreds of other reports, documents and guidelines.

Latest publications

Our searchable catalogue allows you to :

• search among over 4500 titles and some 2000 free downloadable documents : access all the titles published by IUCN from 1948 to the present, plus a selection of titles from IUCN members, partners and other publishers.

• order a printed copy automatically through the on-line book shops of our order fulfillment partner Island Press: www.islandpress.org

• download the PDF version or view the HTML document when available.

Search tips
• As a wild card use the asterisk ( * ) at the end of words or phrases
• Enter any word (e.g. name of an author, word in the title, keyword... ) or a publication date (e.g. 1948).
• Use &, /, ! for and, or, not respectively
• Make the first search more restrictive by using more search terms rather than fewer. If this does not give the desired result, remove one or more search items and repeat the search.
