IUCN brings together States, government agencies, international and national NGOs, economic development agencies and companies. It has more than 1400 members, supported by numerous experts. Its opinions and motions voted by its members every four years are therefore a reference in the world of nature protection, even if they are not binding.

The organization must decide if this motion submitted by a special emergency procedure, meets the criteria of “novelty” and “urgency” to be submitted to the vote, said Enrique Lahmann, one of the administrators of the IUCN.
