Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ in North America unlocks the power of the larger union, supplying knowledge, tools, and best practices to help inform and influence conservation efforts in the United States and Canada. Threats to the region include biodiversity loss, droughts and flooding, forest fires, growing populations, among many others, some of which are being made worse due to a changing climate. We represent a large portion of the overall Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ membership, with over 150 members of the Union including government agencies, non-profits, as well over 3,000 Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ Commission members based in North America working together to help tackle these problems.
