JRI places a high priority on working in partnerships with other individuals and organisations. This is achieved by networking and consultation, by bringing people together in seminars and workshops, and by joint projects. We aim to complement and contribute to the activities and outreach of the UK churches, and of inter-church groups such as the Environmental Issues Network of the Council of Churches in Britain and Ireland. Some organisations we work with currently include:
A Rocha International (Christians in Conservation) Many of our speakers that we invite to speak at CRES meetings come from ARI.
