Explanation:

IUCN is a voluntary organization, not an agency of United Nations. This eliminates other 3 options.

Founded in 1948 as the world’s first global environmental organisation. IUCN supports scientific research, manages field projects all over the world, and brings governments, NGOs, the UN and companies together to develop policy, laws and best practice.
