Treesistance is now an IUCN member.

At its recent Council meeting, IUCN welcomed 48 new members, bringing the total number of member organisations to more than 1,500. Together with over 17,000 experts, IUCN is the global authority on nature and the measures needed to protect it.

Joining that community matters to us not for the credential, but for what it represents: Indigenous-led conservation being taken seriously at the highest levels.

The Forest Guardians of the Amazon have been demonstrating the value of this approach for years. Through territorial defence, community organisation and Indigenous leadership, they continue to protect forests and strengthen the resilience of their territories.

For Treesistance, this marks another step in helping to connect Indigenous-led solutions with wider conservation efforts and conversations around the world, while continuing to learn from and contribute to a growing global community working to protect nature.
