The Biogeography Research Group (BRG) is a 'branch' of the Royal Geographical Society (with The Institute of British Geographers). The aims of the BRG are to foster the study and development of biogeography by:
- The organisation of periodic meetings
- The provision of avenues of contact among biogeographers and between biogeographers and those in related fields
- The maintenance of a website and the promotion of publications emanating from meetings organised by the Group.
- Other appropriate means, particularly with respect to sources of funding for biogeographical research.
The BRG encompasses a broad range of biogeographical content focussing upon the study of plant and animal distributions and their geographical relationships with the environment. This includes aspects of ecology, biodiversity, landscape ecology, palaeoecology, environmental resource management, and includes human-environment relations.
Membership of the BRG shall be open to all Fellows (including Associate Fellows) and Ordinary Members of the Royal Geographical Society (with The Institute of British Geographers) who elect to join the Research Group.
If you are interested in membership (or have any queries), please contact the BRG secretary, membership secretary, or any committee member (see Committee list below).
