According to FACE's Statutes (Art. 6), non-governmental organisations, sharing and supporting the Federation's objectives, may be admitted as Associate Members.


The very first organisation to become Associate Member (admitted by the FACE General Assembly held in September 2003 in Cyprus) is the S.C.I. Foundation, which - just as FACE - operates to protect hunters' rights and to conserve wildlife at international level. One year later (September 2004), the European association for traditional hunting - AECT has become Associate Member. In a certain way comparable to FACE, this association wants to preserve traditional hunting methods and to conserve wildlife at international level. In 2005, FACE General Assembly admitted as Associated Members, FEDECAT - the World Council of Sport Federations for Hunting and Shooting, as well as EJAK - the European Conference of Private Game-keepers. In 2006, AECAC - the European Federation of gun dealers and civil firearms retailers also joined the group of the Associate Members.

Other NGOs - national, regional or international ones - wishing to become Associate Member of FACE and to strengthen so FACE and its activities to promote conservation through sustainable hunting, should contact Dr. Yves LECOCQ, FACE Secretary-General.
