ABSTRACT
The entry of International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in Asia was completely based on its vision to empowering the world for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. IUCN has been involved in preparation of mostly policy instruments, strategies, and empowerment of the conservation-related sectors in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal. During that first decade, the IUCN managed several projects specifically related to policy formation, capacity building, and creation of conservation regime of the country; those are considered as the exemplary works for paving the way for the development of a well-considered and effective Bangladeshi environmental regime. IUCN has been helping its members, by assisting and facilitating conservation programs with them. IUCN also engaged the role of program implementation, through its own mechanism. However, they commented that IUCN has some limitation and weakness in terms of both global programs and the country-specific programs including those in Bangladesh and Pakistan.
