IUCN Green List
The IUCN Green List offers locally relevant expert guidance to help achieve fair and effective nature conservation results in protected and conserved areas. It can help guarantee that wildlife and ecosystems can survive, thrive and bring value to communities everywhere.
A protected or conserved area that reaches the IUCN Green List Standard is certified and recognised as achieving ongoing results for people and nature in a fair and effective way. Any site can join, and work its way towards achieving verified success, and then maintain the Standard or further improve .
Any protected and conserved area that gains ‘Green List’ status demonstrates:
Respect: for the local community through fair and meaningful engagement of rights-holders and stakeholders
Design: planning that identifies the needs to secure the important values of the area
Effective management: monitoring of the status of these important values
Successful conservation results: for nature and for people
Clear contribution: to climate change responses, health and well-being and other challenges
