IUCN classifies endangered species to help determine protective measures.

IUCN plants trees and gardens to combat deforestation and expand green space.

Explanation

The IUCN assesses species’ conservation status and records that information in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

The other choices describe activities that are not the IUCN’s defining global role.
