## Description

The International Union of Speleology (UIS) is a prestigious global organization dedicated to the exploration and protection of caves and karst regions, established in 1965. It serves as the representative body for cavers and speleologists worldwide, with a delegate from each member country ensuring that the interests of local caving communities are voiced. UIS is governed by an elected Bureau and convenes every four years for General Assembly meetings during International Congresses.

The UIS actively promotes research and educational initiatives through its various Commissions and Working Groups. Key offerings include publications like the UIS Bulletin and the International Journal of Speleology, which provide insights into speleological studies. Additionally, the UIS facilitates events such as the International Day of Caves and Karst and awards like the France HABE Prize, aimed at recognizing contributions to cave protection. The UIS also advocates for best practices in cave and karst management, providing guidelines available in multiple languages to support conservation efforts.
