Gratis Books Scheme

The aim of the Gratis Book Scheme is to provide ecology and conservation books to those who would otherwise be unable to obtain them. If you, or someone you wish to nominate, meets the eligibility criteria below and needs a book we are offering, please fill in the application form at the bottom of this page.

Gratis Book Scheme collaborators:

The Gratis Book Scheme provides a range of books per year, which are usually distributed three months after each has been published. To date, over 5,000 books have already been donated to 137 countries. Individuals may request one copy per book for themselves or suggest books for others. It is likely that some of these schemes will be oversubscribed and so, all applications will be considered together, and available copies will then be awarded to those considered to benefit the most.

Eligibility Criteria

  • The recipient must be involved in ecology/conservation as a volunteer, student or practitioner
  • The recipient must work or study outside of Western Europe, North America, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand
  • The main source of funding for the recipient's work must originate from outside of Western Europe, North America, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand
