Whatever they did with the recipe was not good we just had our last meal with Dinty Moore beef stew.Published 3 months ago by Rich
Something about Dinty Moore beef stew has a metallic aftertaste that other similar products from other companies do not. I can't quite put my finger on it.Published 3 months ago by Peter C. Gorman
I will keep several cans in my pantry for a quick meal.
Hadn't eaten it for a few years, but I remember it as being better than this.
I like having these on hand for quick meals... (smile: kind of reminds me of C-Rations!)Published 4 months ago by DJ Knight
I have eaten Dinty Moore stew all my life, and I'm now in my 50s. I'd tried others, because it is more expensive than most, but came back to DM because of the quality. Read morePublished 5 months ago by Amazon Customer
I used to love eating dinty moore beef stew but not since they changed their formulation. This "food" is so disgusting now, it is not even funny how disgusting it is. Read morePublished 5 months ago by John_Doe_914
Their chili for example has no beef, only textured vegetable protein. However, this
stew contains real beef, it doesn't taste like the old "formulation," and when you... Read more

"Great recipe and easy to make! I actually had my boyfriend make it while I made sweet potatoe casserole. It came out soft and most, very much like cake rather than traditional cornbread. The flavor was sweet. Highly recommend this one. Thanks Mike!"
"Cookies came out really soft and tasty! Everyone loved them. :)"
"I made this after reading all of the great reviews, but didn't find that the flavor was there. It was a bit bland and not sweet enough for my taste. However, the texture was great. I made it again today for lunch, adding 1/4 of sugar and it came out awesome! I could almost eat the whole pan of bread. Also added 2 tbs of coarse cornmeal, just b/c I..."
"These cookies were great! I added 1/2 tsp of salt to balance the sweetness. They only lasted three days in my house and were soft and chewy the whole time. Mmmm... can't wait for the next batch!"
"This really is one of the best banana bread recipes. The bread is moist and sweet. Everyone in my house loved it! I gave away the 2nd loaf and it was devoured the same day. Thanks for the great recipe!"
"This one came out really good... similar to Cheesecake Factory's. However, I suggest you test out adding cornstarch one teaspoon at a time. I added like 3 tbsp and it came out a bit thicker than I would've liked. It was great nontheless!"
"So easy to make and it's delicious! Followed the recipe as is except for the crystallized ginger and had to let the jasmine rice cook a bit longer."

- 3Jun 30, '12 by klone, BSN, RNWhy, when new grad nurses can't even find jobs, would someone be willing to go into debt for $60K for a degree when you may not even be guaranteed finding work for a year or even two years after graduation?? You are INCREDIBLY foolish to consider going into so much debt for an associate's nursing degree in this economy! Don't do it!! They were foolish two years ago when this thread was first started, and even more foolish now, when the job market for nurses is even worse now than it was then.
- 1Jun 30, '12 by Tragically HipNo, gsamanez, credits from an unaccredited program will not be accepted by an accredited program. As I said elsewhere: The only for-profit school I know of in this area that has a regionally- and NLNAC-accredited ADN program is Keiser. They are quite expensive, though, but admint students each month, I believe.
Even if you graduate from a program that's approved by the Florida BoN but not regionally and NLNAC (or CCNE) accredited, you probably will not be able to get an RN license in another state without more schooling and sitting for the NCLEX again. Your degree will not be accepted by accredited BSN or graduate programs either.a
The nursing employment situation is not good in Florida. Do you really want to spend $60,000 on a nursing associate degree that you can't even use elsewhere? Even if you're fortunate to find a job after sitting for and passing the NCLEX, on a Florida nurse's salary, the monthly loan payments will be significant.
If you're trying to find a job with Baptist Health, the big player in South Miami-Dade, you are at a significant disadvantage if you don't have a BSN (which is probably why their scholar's program is restricted to Barry and Nova Southeastern students (I think).

stealthzx3's ZX3 build
alright, so this will be my on-going build thread. i've always been fascinated with cars since a was a little kid. after my first Toyota threw a rod, i was driving a 99' Chevy metro. then one day, my dad found my 2001 ZX3 on craigslist for 1,200. i called the owner and talked to them about buying it. so i held my breath, and sold my metro and borrowed a little extra cash from my mom to buy the Focus.
my dad and I drove an hour to go check it out. we took it for a test drive, and i almost immediately fell in love with it. it was compact yet comfortable, and very fun to drive. somehow we walked away with it for $900. it sat in the garage because it needed a heater core flush (it was winter), oil change, fresh coolant, and 2 tires. eventually, my dad got annoyed of me driving his minivan because he was stuck with a dodge ram getting under 20mpg. so he bought me 2 new tires and paid for registration.
i loved driving it around, because i felt like a bada$$ compared to driving in that metro, lol. i remember going on a Tercel forum and learning about my car; that's when i found FocusFanatics :D
after that, i started painting the interior pieces, because that's the only thing i could afford.
one day, i picked up a can of the VHT Niteshades. i did my bumper and grille signals.
don't mind the eyelids here, i got bored and made them out of electrical tape LOL
i also debadged it, but i don't have a shot of that right away. i eventually figured out how to open my hatch (hatch button doesn't work and the key doesn't fit in) and nite-shaded my tails.
looking around in the how-to archive, i found the Hope Depot grille. i made the upper and lower and painted them black.
i just got a debit card in my name, so i ordered my first thing. the blue LED dome light.
i got around to getting 2 cans of plasti-dip. i took off the crappy electrical tape and painted real eyelids on. then i found time to plastidip my wheels too.
looking around for a sleeker looking antenna than just cutting the stock antenna in half, i found the antenna stub. 2 vacuum plugs on the stock base. i think it looks cleaner.
i recently bought a damaged SVT wing which i need to fix up and install.
today, i plasti-dipped the vent surrounds and handles to switch it up a bit.
this is how she sits now. i have a lot of mods in mind.
i'm taking it pretty slow for now, as i have to support my girlfriend and I with a minimum wage job.
i have many ideas for the future, and thankfully, i have the "focus graveyard" somewhat close to get nice parts.
thanks for taking the time to read this, and i will post new mods when it happens.

Discussion in 'RayGator's Swamp Gas' started by 95Gator, Sep 7, 2013.
No way. He has no touch on the ball and makes poor decisions half the time. He is not nfl material.
until jeff gets a good oline, he will be running for his life--hopefully they bring in some big time oline recruits in the next 2 years
it's much more than that.
I didn't see him running for his life. But I did see him standing in the pocket forever and ever (amen) until his first receiver came open (while other receivers were running free in the meantime). I thought the line did pretty well in pass pro.
Pass protection was actually as good as we have seen in a long time for the most part. Run blocking was horrible.
I don't understand why we quit running the Qb option when UM couldn't stop it every time JD kept it.
UM gets the last laugh and have another excuse to say we are scared to some how keep this series going. Typical and I'm not surprised this kinda thing always happens to us
Maybe it's good that this happened early and hopefully the coaches and players can correct and adjust where needed. I sure as heck hope so.
Sorry but Jeff's blindside blocking has collapsed several times in two games, causing 3 fumbles!
He needs to work on his mental clock and get rid of the ball or take off, but all 3 of his fumbles were breakdowns on the left side of the line.
Our line has deeper talent this year(not tons deeper) but has not really jelled yet. This is something that needs improvement and fast. Last years line when healthy was better than what were playing right now.
It's Great to be a Florida Gator!
Maybe I'm not understanding how this works, but I saw Driskel sitting back there for just about forever on passing plays. That seems different from the problem being the oline.
Agreed. The line blocked fine. His decision making was questionable considering the amount of time he had on some of those plays
Once again I say, look at his reel. He needs to learn the placket. It's new to him.
What I realized yesterday is that he rarely uses his mobility. Oh sure he uses it on designed runs (which we should do more of), but he doesn't seem to know what to do when the pocket starts breaking down. A QB with his speed should be able to tuck and run for first downs multiple times a game. Either that or drift out of the pocket giving his receivers an extra second to break free. Even non mobile QBs need to do that. My fear is that can only be coached to an extent, and either a QB has it or he doesn't.
I'm not convinced Jeff perceives things well both in the pocket and with what is taking place with coverage. For instance, instead of stepping up in the pocket to buy time, he inexplicably slid right and into a defender who was actually being blocked by Tyler Moore. Even on the sack and fumble, if he slides forward, the fumble probably doesn't happen.
And he doesn't see receivers coming open well. He sees them once they are open, but that is often too late. As QB you have to see the receivers who are about to be open and deliver the ball then so they get it early and can make a play after the catch.
This may be an experience thing or he may just "not get it." Time will tell. But he has a great and accurate arm and is a tremendous athlete. His accuracy is usually not the issue. It's his timing and understanding.
There's no reason Jeff shouldn't be able to do what Gardner does for Michigan.
Don't really like commenting critically on individual Gator players too much, but there's no denying the OP makes a valid point. It's fair to say that when it comes to pocket awareness our current starter is not exactly Dan Marino. More should be done by the coaches to take better advantage of the skill set he DOES have, in my opinion.
This, this, this.
Sure, the OL made some mistakes. But when they did, JD didn't throw it away or tuck it and run. He got sacked/fumbled the ball or threw an interception.
However when the OL was stout and Driskel had time, he still wasn't finding the receivers like he needed to do or he threw behind them. This happened quite a bit, actually.
JD made some good plays too, I'm not denying that. He just doesn't seem to have what it takes to be an elite QB (not talking physically). Nothing I have seen in his playing time makes me think that this is going to change. I hope I'm wrong, of course...
I don't think Jeff has ever really had a chance to get in an actual groove as a passing QB since his time at UF. How big is rhythm in a passing attack? We sometimes run so much I wonder if it's hard for Jeff to learn properly from his mistakes and get into an actual rhythm. Clearly the turnovers I don't think can be blamed on any one thing, but there's definitely an issue with that.
I believe Jeff has the tools - mentally and physically, but the Offense needs to be tailored to a closer fit of his skills.
The sack/fumble play was all on the line! Jeff was hit from his blindside less than 2 seconds after the snap and he was starting to throw the ball. Bad protection on that play.
He does seem to be slow with his reads, he is improving.
I think the coaches have tried to teach him not to leave the pocket on passing plays and have taken some of his scrambling away from him. He needs to find the balance between staying in the pocket and taking off. While he made some good runs on broken plays last year, he also didn't know when to throw it away(didn't do this yesterday either) and killed some drives loosing yardage.
It's Great to be a Florida Gator!
The game is too fast for him
Jeff made plenty of nice plays between the twenties. He played poorly in the red zone annd it cost us the game.
He just needs to get his head right in big moments, IMO.

Proposed Pension Exemption for Some California Union Members Prompts Debate
The author of a bill that would exempt 20,000 California union members from last year's pension overhaul is defending the measure against criticism that it breaks a promise to voters who just approved tax increases.
Democratic Assemblyman Luis Alejo says he introduced the bill because of a conflict between the new state pension law and U.S. labor law that applies to 20,000 local and regional public transit workers. As a result, he says, $2 billion in federal transportation funds are at risk.
"If there's a way we can fix this, then I'm open to doing that. But there's a major problem that's before the state right now and nobody has fixed it so far and projects are getting held up," says Alejo.
But Republican Assemblyman Allan Mansoor says Californians approved Governor Jerry Brown's tax measure last fall believing the state's pension changes were real.
"I can't support anything that's going to move California backwards in terms of reform. I feel like that would be a double-cross on the voters," says Mansoor.
Brown's press secretary says any new legislation should "not in any way weaken" last year's changes.

Early on, newspapers wrote dramatic accounts of the "38 people" who watched the whole attack from their apartment windows with no one doing anything or even calling the police when they heard her screams. Social psychologists came up with something called "the bystander effect," in which, the more witnesses are present, the less likely you are to help a stranger.
Now there's a much fuller version of the whole story in a new book by Kevin Cook, Kitty Genovese: The Murder, the Bystanders, the Crime That Changed America. Cook, a journalist and award-winning author of two other nonfiction titles, has written a seamless account using a balance of drama, detail, analysis, and just enough graphic description to satisfy the reader's curiosity without being overwhelming.

Alisa Fleming ~ Some of you might assume cobbler is a fall dessert, but it is a four-season treat in my opinion. As spring and summer set in, what better way is there to enjoy a cool and creamy scoop of dairy-free ice cream than atop an apple crisp or gluten-free cobbler, like this one …
This recipe was shared with us by So Delicious Dairy Free and created by my friend, Amie Valpone. Like me, Amie loves to put oats in just about every baked goodie. Her hearty gluten-free cobbler is like a cross between a crispy crumble and a biscuit topping. She also opts to swap some of the sweetener for a stevia blend to keep the sugars low. If you aren't a stevia fan, you can use the granulated sweetener of your choice.
If you don't have a need for a gluten-free cobbler, you can substitute regular all-purpose flour or whole wheat pastry flour for the gluten-free all-purpose flour. Note that this gluten-free cobbler recipe is also vegan and soy-free, particularly if you use a coconut-based dairy-free ice cream like So Delicious, and their almond or coconut milk beverage. Click here for a So Delicious Coupon
And there is no need to feel married to the fall fruits. If you can't find apples and cranberries locally, or prefer a sunnier fruit, peaches and other stone fruits would be an amazing base for this gluten-free cobbler.
I love cobblers all four seasons also! The apple-cranberry combo is the perfect blend of sweet-tart!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Mainland authorities are in consultations with technology giant Google to resolve its dispute with the company, which has threatened to abandon the mainland market
over hacking and censorship concerns, a Chinese official said on Friday.
The comment came from Li Yizhong, minister of Chinaa**s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), speaking on the sidelines of Chinaa**s annual
A Google spokesman was not immediately available for comment.
Google sent shockwaves across business and political circles when it declared on January 12 it would stop censoring Chinese search results, and said it was
considering pulling out of the country.
Google said in January that it had detected a cyber-attack originating from China on its corporate infrastructure that resulted in the theft of its intellectual
property. Google said more than 20 other companies had been infiltrated, and cited the attack, as well as Chinese web censorship practices, as reasons for the company
to consider pulling out of the country.
The dispute about internet censorship has added to tensions about issues ranging from trade and the Chinese currency, to a meeting last week between US President
Barack Obama and exiled Tibetan leader the Dalai Lama.
The hacking issue made headlines again in late February after reports in the Western media that the attacks had been traced to two mainland universities, and the
writer of the spyware used had been identified as a security consultant in his 30s with government links.
The Chinese government has said that Googlea**s claim that it was attacked by hackers based in China was a**groundless.a**

as India�s new car market of 2.7 million units. Interestingly, while the country�s used car market sharply lags behind developed economies, where the used car market is three times the size of the primary market, the size of the used luxury car market is the same as the new luxury car market, say sources.
In the past few years, most luxury car makers have also entered the used car market. �Mercedes-Benz India witnessed a strong demand for its pre-owned car business, Proven Exclusivity, in 2013. The company witnessed more than 25% growth in 2013 in this segment. More than 1,200 units were sold,� says a company statement.
Puneet Gupta, principal analyst at IHS Automotive, adds, �A lot of car manufacturers are betting on the used car market; the margins are higher. Many consumers look for premium cars, and used cars give them an opportunity to upgrade to luxury even as they spend lesser.�

The issues of sexual desire, unmet erotic needs, mismatched libidos, and the ravages of time in a long term relationship or marriage are among the most common rants of the sex unhappy. I know, not only because I work with hundreds of women who are living it right now, but because I have been a sex unhappy wife. I had the guts to do something about it, managed to stayed married (31 years this summer), and my husband and I told the tale to Elizabeth Bernstein, a relationship reporter at The Wall Street Journal. The article is called "Questions You Are Too Shy To Ask" and you can read it on-line or in print.
Couples can become sex unhappy for so many reasons. The most common reason? The simple lack of sex is number one. And there are so many causes for that. We have: mismatched time clocks, work pressures, kids or our desire for kids, our sexual tastes can change over time including what turns us on, and married sex can fall into a boring routine. As my husband so clearly put it in the WSJ piece "We knew exactly what was going to happen every time we had sex." And then there is self-image; many men get concerned about their erections as they get older, and many women get sexually shut down by their relationship with their own bodies. One thing is for sure, the sex unhappy marriage is a painful place to hang out in.

International Union for Conservation of Nature
|October 1948, Fontainebleau, France
|International organization
|Nature conservation, biodiversity, Nature-based solutions
|Area served
|Key people
|Julia Marton-Lefèvre (Director General)
Zhang Xinsheng (President)
|Over 1,000 (worldwide)
|Influence, encourage and assist societies throughout the world to conserve the integrity and diversity of nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is an international organization working in the field of nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. It was established in 1948. In the past, it has been called the International Union for Protection of Nature (1948-1956) and the World Conservation Union (1990 - 2008).
IUCN's mission is to "influence, encourage and assist societies throughout the world to conserve nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable." It has a membership of over 1200 governmental and non-governmental organisations. Some 11,000 scientists and experts participate in the work of IUCN commissions on a voluntary basis.[1]
IUCN is involved in data-analysis, research, field projects, advocacy, lobbying and education. Initially its operations were almost exclusively grounded in conservation ecology. Over the past decades, the organisation has widened its scope and now incorporates aspects such as gender equality, poverty alleviation and sustainable business in its activities. IUCN has observer and consultative status at the United Nations, and plays a role in the implementation of several international conventions on nature conservation and biodiversity. It is best known to the wider public for compiling and publishing the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, which assesses the conservation status of species worldwide.[1]
Unlike other international conservation NGOs, IUCN does not directly aim to mobilise the public in support of conservation. It wants to influence the actions of governments and business by providing advice based in science, as well as through lobbying and partnerships. In recent years its partnerships with actors from the business sector including Shell have exposed IUCN to criticism. [2]
IUCN latest initiative, launched at the World Parks Congress in Sydney (2014), is the Green List of protected areas. The Green List of protected areas will offer a rating system for reserves and parks and will recognise those that are setting a high standard for protected area management.[3]
IUCN employs approximately 1000 full-time staff in more than 60 countries. Its headquarters are in Gland, Switzerland. It has been involved in establishing the World Wide Fund for Nature and the World Conservation Monitoring Centre.

IUCN was established on October 5, 1948, in Fontainebleau, France, where representatives of governments and conservation organisations signed a formal act constituting the International Union for Protection of Nature (IUPN). It is considered to be the first GONGO, i.e. Governmental and Non-Governmental Organisation. The initiative to set up the new organisation came from UNESCO and especially from its first Director General, the British biologist Julian Huxley.
The objectives of the new Union were to encourage international cooperation in the protection of nature, to promote national and international action and to compile, analyse and distribute information. At the time of its founding IUPN was the only international organisation focusing on the entire spectrum of nature conservation (an international organisation for the protection of birds, now BirdLife International, had been founded in 1922.)
Early years: 1948 -1956[5]
IUPN started out with 65 members. Its secretariat was located in Brussels. The first years saw the development of a work program focused on saving species and habitats, increasing and applying knowledge, advancing education, promoting international agreements and promoting conservation.Providing a solid scientific base for conservation action was the heart of all activities and the first Commissions were set up to involve experts and scientists.
IUPN was not formally part of UNESCO but the two organisations were closely associated. They jointly organized the 1949 Conference on Protection of Nature (Lake Success, USA). In preparation for this conference a list of gravely endangered species was drawn up for the first time, a precursor of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In the early years of its existence IUPN depended almost entirely on UNESCO funding and was forced to temporarily scale down activities when this ended unexpectedly in 1954.
Although IUPN was successful in engaging prominent scientists and identifying important issues, not many of the ideas it developed were turned into action. This was caused by unwillingness to act on the part of governments, unclarity about the mandate of the Union and lack of resources.In 1956, IUPN changed its name to International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.
Increased profile and recognition: 1956 - 1965[6]
The 1950s and 1960s saw global political change: Europe entered a period of economic growth and formal colonies became independent. Both developments had impact on the work of IUCN. Through the voluntary (i.e. pro bono) involvement of experts in its Commissions IUCN was able to get a lot of work done while still operating on a low budget. It expanded its relations with UN-agencies and established links with the Council of Europe. In 1961, at the request of ECOSOC, the United Nations Economic and Social Council, IUCN published the first global list of national parks and protected areas which is has updated ever since. IUCN's best known publication, the Red Data Book on the conservation status of species, was first published in 1964.
IUCN played a role in the development of international treaties and conventions, starting with the African Convention on the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. Environmental law and policy making became a new area of expertise.
Africa became the focus of many of its conservation projects. IUCN supported the 'Yellowstone model' of protected area management, which severely restricted human presence and activity. IUCN and other conservation organisations were criticized for protecting nature against people rather than with people. This model was initially also applied in Africa and played a role in the decision to remove the Maasai people from Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. [7]
To establish a stable financial basis for its work, IUCN was involved in setting up the World Wildlife Fund (1961) (now the World Wide Fund for Nature WWF). WWF would work on fundraising, public relations, and increasing public support. IUCN would continue to focus on providing sound science and data, and developing ties with international bodies. Funds raised by WWF would be used to cover part of the operational costs of IUCN. In 1961, IUCN headquarters also moved from Belgium to Morges in Switzerland.
Consolidating its position in the international environmental movement: 1966 - 1975[8]
Public concerns about the state of the environment in the sixties and seventies led to the establishment of new NGOs, some of which (e.g. Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth) also worked globally. Often these new organisations were more activist and critical of government than IUCN. IUCN remained committed to providing science-based advice to governments and other parties involved in conservation. As a result it was criticized by some as old-fashioned and irrelevant.
IUCN's membership grew (from 200 in 1961 to 400 in 1974) and its formal standing and influence increased. A grant from the Ford Foundation in 1969 enabled it to boost its secretariat and expand operations. During the 1960s, IUCN lobbied the UN General Assembly to create a new status for NGOs. Resolution 1296, adopted in 1968, granted 'consultative' status to NGOs. IUCN itself was eventually accredited with six UN organizations. [9] IUCN was one the few NGOs formally involved in the preparations of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (Stockholm, 1972). The Stockholm Conference eventually led to three new international conventions, with IUCN involved in their drafting and their implementation:
- Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage (1972). IUCN provides technical evaluations and monitoring
- CITES- the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (1974) IUCN was a signatory party and the CITES secretariat was originally lodged with IUCN
- Ramsar Convention - Convention on Wetlands of International Importance (1975). The secretariat is administered from IUCN's headquarters.
IUCN also entered into an agreement with the United Nations Environment Programme UNEP to provide a regular review of world conservation. The income this generated, combined with growing revenue via WWF, put the organisation on relatively sound financial footing for the first time since 1948.
This period saw the beginning of a gradual change in IUCN's approach to conservation. Ensuring the survival of habitats and species remained its key objective, but there was a growing awareness that economic and social demands had to be taken into account. IUCN started to publish guidelines on sustainable development. In 1975 the IUCN General Assembly passed a resolution to retain indigenous peoples and cater for their traditional rights in National Parks and protected areas. As a result, IUCN became more appealing to organisations and governments in the developing world.
The World Conservation Strategy 1975 - 1985 [10]
In the late seventies, between its General Assemblies in Kinshasha (1975) and Ashkabad (1978), IUCN went through a phase of turbulence in governance and management. Its work program continued to grow, in part as a result of the partnership with WWF. In 1978, IUCN was running 137 projects, largely in the global south. As a result the involvement of representatives from the developing world within the IUCN Council, Committees and staff increased.
In 1975 IUCN started work on the World Conservation Strategy.
The first drafts still promoted a traditional approach to nature conservation, resulting in severe criticism from the UN agencies involved. The drafting process of the World Conservation Strategy led to an evolution in thinking within IUCN and acceptance of the fact that conservation of nature by banning human presence no longer worked. The World Conservation Strategy was launched in 35 countries simultaneously on March 5, 1980. It set out fundamental principles and objectives for conservation worldwide, and identified priorities for national and international action. It is considered one of the most influential documents in 20th century nature conservation and one of the first official documents to introduce the concept of sustainable development. The Strategy was followed in 1982 by the World Charter for Nature, which was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly, after preparation by IUCN.
In 1980, IUCN and WWF moved into shared new offices in Gland, Switzerland. This marked a phase of closer cooperation with WWF. It was the support of WWF that allowed IUCN to weather a financial crisis in 1980-1982. IUCN, WWF and the World Resources Institute (WRI), with whom both organizations are closely associated, are considered the driving force behind the rise of NGO influence at the UN and around the world. [11] The close ties between IUCN and WWF were severed in 1985 when WWF decided to take control its own field projects, which so far had been run by IUCN. In 1989, IUCN moved into a separate building of its own, close to the offices it had shared with WWF.
Sustainable development and regionalisation: 1985 - 2000 [12]
In 1982, IUCN set up the Conservation for Development Centre within its secretariat. The Centre undertook projects to ensure that nature conservation was integrated in development aid and in the national economic policies of developing countries. It supported the development of national conservation strategies in 30 countries. Several European countries began to channel considerable amounts of bilateral aid via IUCN's projects. Management of these projects was primarily done by IUCN staff, often working from the new regional and country offices IUCN set up around the world. This marked a shift within the organisation. Previously the volunteer Commissions had been very influential, now the Secretariat and its staff began to play a more dominant role. Initially, the focus of power was still with the Headquarters in Gland, leading to criticism that IUCN remained northern-dominated. Gradually the regional offices and regional members' groups got a bigger say in operations.
In spite of the increased attention for sustainable development, the protection of habitats and species remained a core activity of IUCN. Special programs were developed for Antarctica, tropical forests and wetlands. IUCN also expanded its operations in Latin America. The debate about the balance between strict nature protection and conservation through sustainable development continued within IUCN well into the 1990s.
In 1991, IUCN (together with UNEP and WWF) published Caring for the Earth, a successor to the World Conservation Strategy. It was published in the run-up to the Earth Summit, the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro. The World Conservation Strategy, Caring for the Earth, and the Global Diversity Strategy (published in 1992 by UNEP, IUCN, and WRI) are considered hugely influential in shaping the global environmental agenda. They lay the foundations for the Convention on Biological Diversity, a new global treaty for the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity developed by UNEP with support from IUCN, the Framework Convention on Climate Change and Agenda 21.[13]
Social aspects of conservation were being integrated in IUCN's work; projects began to take account of the role of women in natural resource management and the knowledge indigenous peoples have about living with and within their natural environment. At the General Assembly in 1994 the IUCN mission was redrafted to its current wording to include the equitable and ecologically use of natural resources.
Closer to business: 2000 to present day
The increased attention on sustainable development as a means to protect nature inevitably brought IUCN closer to the corporate sector. A discussion started about cooperation with business, including the question if commercial companies could become IUCN members. The members decided against this, but IUCN did forge partnerships with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development.
The IUCN Global Business and Biodiversity Program (BBP) was established in 2003. The Program wants to engage business sectors that have a significant impact on natural resources and livelihoods.[14] Most prominent in the Business and Biodiversity Program is the five-year collaboration IUCN started with the energy company Shell International in 2007. With this partnership they aimed to mitigate the environmental impact of Shell operations. The partnership with Shell almost immediately came under fire from the IUCN members, especially the NGO-members who feared for IUCN's reputation. At the World Conservation Congress (formerly the IUCN General Assembly) in Barcelona in 2008 a number of NGO-members tabled a motion to terminate the Shell contract. The proposal was supported by 60 percent of the NGO members and fewer than 20 percent of governmental members. It was narrowly defeated. [15][16]
Some key dates in the growth and development of IUCN:
- 1956: Name very soon changed from International Union for the Preservation of Nature (IUPN) to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN)
- 1956: IUCN creates the International Youth Federation for the Study and Conservation of Nature (IYF), which in 1983 creates Youth and Environment Europe (YEE)[17]
- 1959: UNESCO decides to create an international list of Nature Parks and equivalent reserves, and the United Nations Secretary General asks the IUCN to prepare this list
- 1961: After more than a decade of funding difficulties, eminent science and business personalities (including Sir Julian Huxley) decide to set up a complementary fund (the World Wildlife Fund) to focus on fund raising, public relations, and increasing public support for nature conservation

Current work[edit]
Workprogram 2013 - 2016[edit]
IUCN works according to four-year programs, determined by the membership. In the IUCN Program for 2013–2016 conserving nature and biodiversity is inextricably linked to sustainable development and poverty reduction. IUCN is still committed to having a solid factual base for its work, but now also takes into account the knowledge held by indigenous groups and other traditional users of natural resources. Its original focus on science-based conservation ecology has been widened.
The 2013 - 2016 work program identifies three program areas:
- Valuing and conserving nature.
- Effective and equitable governance of nature's use.
- Deploying nature-based solutions to global challenges in cimate, food and development. [18]
According to its website, IUCN works on the following topics: business, economics, ecosystems, education, environmental law, forest conservation, gender, global policy, marine and polar, protected areas, science and knowledge, social policy, species, wildlife trade, water and world heritage. [19]
Habitats and species[edit]
IUCN runs field projects for habitat and species conservation around the world. It produces the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems which in a similar way measures risks to ecosystems.
IUCN participates in efforts to restore critically endangered species. It wants to expand the global network of national parks and other protected areas and promotes good management of such areas, for example through the publication of the Green List of well-managed protected areas. [20] It maintains and applies the IUCN protected area categories. IUCN is the governing body responsible for the development of the Management Categories into which each Protected Area is divided depending on its conservation requirements and management aims. It is also developing a standard to identify Key Biodiversity Areas — places of international importance for conservation. In particular, it focuses on greater protection of the oceans and marine habitats.
Examples of critically endangered species and threatened habitats that are the focus of IUCN programs
Business partnerships[edit]
IUCN has a growing programme of partnership with the corporate sector. In its Annual Report over 2013 IUCN list cooperations with Global Blue, Groupe Danone, Holcim, Nokia Corporation, Rio Tinto Group, Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Limited, Shell Nigeria, Marriott International and Nespresso. [21]
National and international policy[edit]
On the national level, IUCN helps governments prepare national biodiversity policies. Internationally, IUCN provides advice to environmental conventions such as the Convention on Biological Diversity, CITES and the Framework Convention on Climate Change. It advises UNESCO on natural world heritage. It has a formally accredited permanent observer mission to the United Nations in New York. According to its own website, IUCN is the only international observer organization in the UN General Assembly with expertise in issues concerning the environment, specifically biodiversity, nature conservation and sustainable natural resource use. [22]
IUCN has official relations with the Council of Europe, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the Organization of American States (OAS), the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). [23]
The World Conservation Congress (Members' Assembly) is IUCN's highest decision-making body. The Congress convenes every four years. It elects the Council and approves IUCN's workprogrammes and budgets.
The IUCN Council is the principal governing body of IUCN. The Council provides strategic direction for the activities of the Union, discusses specific policy issues and provides guidance on finance and the membership development of the Union. Members of the Council are: the President, four Vice Presidents (elected by the Council from among its members), the Treasurer, the Chairs of IUCN's six Commissions, three Regional Councillors from each of IUCN's eight Statutory Regions and a Councillor from the State in which IUCN has its seat (Switzerland). IUCN's current President is Zhang Xinsheng.
The Council appoints a Director General, who is responsible for the overall management of IUCN and the running of the Secretariat. Julia Marton-Lefèvre has been IUCN Director General since 2 January 2007. In October 2014, IUCN announced that she will be succeeded in January 2015 by Inger Andersen. [24][25]

Organizational structure[edit]
The Union has three components: its member organizations, its six scientific commissions, and its professional secretariat.[27]
The Union unites both States and non-governmental organizations. They set the policies of the Union, define its global programme of work and elect its Council (comparable to a company board) at the IUCN World Conservation Congress.
Member organizations organize themselves into National and Regional Committees.[27]
There are six commissions that "assess the state of the world's natural resources and provide the Union with sound know-how and policy advice on conservation issues":[28][29]
- Commission on Education and Communication (CEC): CEC champions the strategic use of communication and education to empower and educate stakeholders for the sustainable use of natural resources.
- Commission on Environmental, Economic, and Social Policy (CEESP): CEESP provides expertise and policy advice on economic and social factors for the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity.
- World Commission on Environmental Law (WCEL): WCEL advances environmental law by developing new legal concepts and instruments, as well as by building the capacity of societies to employ environmental law for conservation and sustainable development.
- Commission on Ecosystem Management(CEM): CEM provides expert guidance on integrated ecosystem approaches to the management of natural and modified ecosystems.
- Species Survival Commission (SSC): SSC advises the Union on the technical aspects of species conservation and mobilizes action for those species that are threatened with extinction. It produces the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™.
Main article: IUCN Species Survival Commission
- 'World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA): WCPA's mission is to promote the establishment and effective management of a world-wide representative network of terrestrial and marine protected areas.
Main article: World Commission on Protected Areas
The members and commissions work together with a professional secretariat consisting of over 1,000 people in more than 60 different countries.
Influence and criticism[edit]
IUCN is considered one the most influential conservation organisations in the world.[30] The World Conservation Congress and the World Parks event are the largest gatherings of organisations and individuals involved in conservation worldwide. They involve governmental organisations, NGOs, media, academia and the corporate sector.
IUCN has established itself at the center of a network covering all aspects of global conservation: its membership of governmental and non-governmental organisations, the involvement of experts in the IUCN commissions, its formal links to international agreements and intergovernmental organisations, and increasingly its partnerships with international business.
According to some, IUCN is not only a major global player in conservation action, but also has considerable influence in defining what conservation actually is.[31] The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems determine which species and natural areas merit protection. Through the Green List of well-managed protected areas and the system of IUCN protected area categories IUCN influences how protected areas are managed.
Although the relevance of the scientific insights and the data that IUCN produces are hardly ever debated, IUCN has encountered criticism throughout its history and its actions can still lead to controversy.
It has been claimed that IUCN put the needs of nature above those of humans, disregarding economic considerations and the interests of indigenous peoples and other traditional users of the land.
Until the 1980s IUCN favored the "Yellowstone Model' of conservation which called for the removal of humans from protected areas. The expulsion of the Maasai people from Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is perhaps the best known example of this approach. [32] [33]
This is linked to another criticism that has been directed at IUCN, namely that it has been 'Northern focused', i.e. had a West-European or North-American perspective on conservation. Some critics point to the fact that many individuals involved in the establishment of IUCN had been leading figures in the British Society for the Preservation of the Wild Fauna of Empire, which wanted to protect species against the impact of 'native' hunting pressure in order to safeguard hunting by Europeans. [34] The fact that at least until the 1990s, most of IUCN staff, the chairs of the Commissions and the IUCN President came from western countries has also led to criticism.[35]
Over the past decade, IUCN has changed its approach. It now aims to work in close cooperation with indigenous groups. It has also become more regionalized in its operations and staffing. [36]
On the other hand, activist environmental groups have argued that IUCN is too closely associated with governmental organisations and with the commercial sector. [37] Most recently, IUCN's cooperation with Shell came in for criticism, also from its own membership. Its decision to hold the 2012 World Conservation Congress on Jeju Island, South Korea, where the local community and international environmental activists were protesting against the construction of a navy base also led to controversy.[38] [39]
IUCN has a comprehensive range of publications, reports, guidelines and databases for conservation and sustainable development. [40] It publishes or co-authors more than 150 books and major assessments every year, along with hundreds of reports, documents and guidelines.[41]
A new report released at the IUCN World Parks Congress in Sydney on 13 November showed that the 209,000 conservation reserves around the world now cover 15.4 per cent of the total land area. About 6.1 million square kilometres, approximately the same size as the continent Australia, have been added to the Earths total conservation reserves since 2010. The new figures are a step in the right direction of protecting 17 percent of land and 10 percent of ocean environments on Earth by 2020 since an agreement between the worlds nations at the Convention on Biological Diversity, held in Japan in 2010.
