The risks vary widely, but many point to one major driver: the steady shrinking of civic space. More than half report that the rules governing NGO activity in their countries have grown increasingly restrictive. Among respondents, half also observe a rise in threats and violence. These are clear signs that the environment for conservation work is becoming more hostile.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"635\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-401472 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1600\/635;width:635px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-300x119.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1024x406.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-768x305.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1536x610.jpg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>\u2018<em>Today, working for nature conservation has become a challenge.

More than half reported a surge in surveillance, heavier reporting obligations, and stricter state monitoring. These pressures take many forms; from direct government scrutiny to limits on receiving international funding. Nearly half of respondents say they now face restrictions on foreign financial support, including \u201cforeign agent\u201d laws in several countries that make such funding increasingly difficult.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>Even the basic ability to operate is under strain. Many environmental organisations struggle to register as conservation NGOs or to renew the licenses they need to function. Some groups have been forced to close or change their legal status entirely, all against the backdrop of environmental institutions being weakened or dismantled.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p><em>\u2018In my country basically anything that requires any level of government engagement, even just permits, has become like walking on eggshells.<\/em>\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Latin American IUCN member<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>The risks extend well beyond institutional pressure; many respondents report direct personal harm. Within the past four years, a quarter have faced personal threats, physical violence, or intimidation. A third report increasing levels of stigmatisation, hate speech, and social\u2011media attacks, patterns that often go unmonitored and unrecorded. Working in conservation is often unsafe for individuals or their organisations. Around 11% specifically cite legal attacks targeting people and groups, while nearly one fifth say they have experienced cyber\u2011attacks such as hacking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>Taken together, these trends reveal a sector operating in an increasingly hostile civic environment, one where both organisations and the people who power them are being placed at growing risk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"406\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/civic-space-picture-2-1024x406.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-401454 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/civic-space-picture-2-1024x406.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/civic-space-picture-2-300x119.png 300w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/civic-space-picture-2-768x305.png 768w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/civic-space-picture-2-1536x610.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/civic-space-picture-2.png 1600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/406;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-responsive-large\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Environmental organisations\u2019 coping strategies<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>When confronted with violence, threats, or restrictive measures, many organisations turn to collective strength. Around 63% of respondents said they joined forces with likeminded groups to coordinate responses and find safe ways forward. The survey highlights how resourceful conservation actors can be: mobilising social media campaigns, seeking international backing, and using networks to draw attention to the pressures they face.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>Some organisations are taking direct steps to protect themselves. About 37% have introduced active protection measures, such as safety protocols for staff. Yet the data also shows that a significant number of conservation NGOs still operate without adequate security in place, leaving people and projects dangerously exposed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>For others, the pressure has forced them to scale back. Nearly one third of respondents reported reducing their public protests and activism, while almost a fifth said they had stopped working on a project or issue altogether due to the risks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>&nbsp;At a moment where more, not less, conservation action is needed this trend is deeply problematic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"314\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/civic-space-picture-3-1024x314.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-401456 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/civic-space-picture-3-1024x314.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/civic-space-picture-3-300x92.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/civic-space-picture-3-768x235.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/civic-space-picture-3-1536x470.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/12\/civic-space-picture-3.jpg 1600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/314;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-responsive-large\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can IUCN and international actors do?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>Nearly half of the respondents call for stronger mediation and dialogue between NGOs, governments, and other stakeholders, making use of IUCN\u2019s convening power to ease tensions and find solutions.
