The CIC safeguards nature, defends sustainable use rights for communities and restores disturbed landscapes.
The International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation (CIC) is a global conservation organisation founded in 1930 that promotes the sustainable use and conservation of wildlife, biodiversity, and natural habitats. Bringing together governments, scientists, land managers, and conservation practitioners from around the world, CIC works to ensure that wildlife is valued and conserved for the benefit of present and future generations.
The organisation contributes to international policy development and serves as an observer to key global environmental conventions, supporting evidence-based approaches to biodiversity conservation and sustainable wildlife management. Through research, advocacy, knowledge exchange, and partnerships, CIC helps strengthen conservation practices while supporting local communities and traditional livelihoods.
