Answer 1

The popular name of IUCN is International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. This is the world’s oldest global organization dedicated to the protection of mother Nature. The IUCN’s main mission is to “encourage, influence, 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 its headquarters situated in Gland, Switzerland.

Complete answer:
The agency was founded in 1948. It was at first known as the International Union for the protection of Nature and Natural Resources and then officially changed its name to International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources in the year 1956.
From 1990 to 2008, it was also known as World Conservation Union, due to the fact it regulated and interfered with almost every environmental aspect of protection.
The main motto of this organization is the conservation of nature and sustainable utilization of its natural resources.
The IUCN has been providing a top-notch nature caring solution since 2009 and has been championing in this field, coming into recognition and consideration day-by-day.

Therefore, Option-B) World conservation union is the correct answer.

Note:
This question is quite a rare question. But if anytime, such a question comes where both the names of the IUCN, i.e., The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, and, World conservation union, both are mentioned, the learner is requested to select the official name only. Whereas, if the time period of 1990-2008, is stipulated, then the latter should be considered as the correct option.
