From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM, /ˈsaɪiːm/ SY-eem) is the professional body which represents and supports ecologists and environmental managers, mainly in the United Kingdom but increasingly in Ireland and mainland Europe, and the rest of the world.

CIEEM's vision is of a healthy natural environment for the benefit of current and future generations.

Established in 1991, CIEEM now has over 6,000 members[1] drawn from local authorities, government agencies, industry, environmental consultancy, teaching/research, and NGOs. Formerly known as IEEM, CIEEM attained a royal charter in 2013, being recognised for its high level of professionalism.[2] The Inaugural President from 1991–94 was the ecologist Tony Bradshaw FRS.

Activities of CIEEM

[edit]

CIEEM provides a variety of services (including conferences, training, events, guidance and advice) to develop the competency and standards of professional ecologists and environmental managers and also to promote ecology and environmental management as a profession.

CIEEM members are able to become Chartered Ecologists and/or Chartered Environmentalists.

CIEEM is a constituent body of the Society for the Environment and the Environmental Policy Forum (EPF). CIEEM is also a member of the IUCN-UK Committee and a supporter member of Greener UK.

CIEEM is a member of the UN Decade of Biodiversity 2011-2020 partnership, and was a signatory of the Countdown 2010 agreement to help save biodiversity and a member of the 2010 International Year of Biodiversity UK partnership.
