AER Membership allows your organisation to easily share reports, case studies and guidance documents that benefit the wider community and help improve best practice.

Who is it for?

AER membership is open to any organisation or group that produces evidence-based information on the management of biodiversity and the environment: eNGOs, consultancies, synthesis centres, funders and more. We permanently store your information in any language and make them publicly available on our ever-growing search platform.

With your information more accessible and discoverable to a wider audience, you will be in a stronger position to demonstrate the significance of your organisation on the global stage.
