The International Affiliation of Land Reclamationists (IALR) includes the following organizations:

• Canadian Land Reclamation Association/Association canadienne de réhabilitation des sites dégradés
• American Society of Mining and Reclamation
• Minerals Council of Australia
• British Land Reclamation Society
• Chinese Land Reclamation Society

The policy of the IALR is to develop an international community of reclamationists which has as their objectives:

• The dissemination of technical information relating to land reclamation.
• Encouraging international collaboration in developing reclamation procedures, materials and services.
• Establishing contacts for formal of informal exchanges of information.
• Providing a medium for enhanced technical awareness of current technology and research programs.

The IALR is not a professional society although its membership includes all members of those professional societies agreeing to affiliate with IALR.  The co-ordinating committee of IALR is composed of representatives from each of the participating societies and MCA.

Organizations, professional societies or associations may submit a request to the IALR co-ordinating committee for affiliation with the IALR through any of the member societies.  Members of those societies approved for membership will automatically become members of IALR.

No membership dues are assessed to individuals belonging to the participating societies.  Costs for services to the membership are assessed proportionally among the participating societies.
