Explanation

IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature, founded 1948) is the world's oldest and largest global environmental organization, specifically focused on biodiversity conservation and maintaining Earth's biosphere. It produces the Red List of threatened species. WWF focuses on conservation (not exclusively biosphere), SUNFED was a short-lived UN proposal, and UNEP coordinates environmental programs (not specifically biosphere maintenance).
