What is Oppla?

Oppla is an open platform where you can discover, share and create solutions for nature, either as an individual or as part of a group. Our community has grown to over 5,000 people, making us one of the world’s largest communities focused on nature-based solutions. With over 1,000 resources and 400 case studies uploaded to Oppla, there’s a range of environmental knowledge available.

Oppla is an open platform for anyone interested in sharing knowledge or learning about nature. Our users vary from academics, policy-makers, business owners, and students- the list goes on.

Finish setting up your account for full access to Oppla services, including:

• Join groups that interest you

After you have made an account on Oppla, click your profile icon in the top right corner of your screen. Once here, you’ll see a button reading “Upgrade to a verified user”. Click this to change your account status.

When upgrading to a verified user we will ask for your full name, the organisation you’re with (you can leave this blank if it’s not relevant), your job title, and a profile picture. The picture does not have to be of you, but we ask for one to help distinguish your account. 

If you can't see the "Upgrade to verified user" button, you've already done this step! 

If you do not complete your profile you can only post events and view groups.

An Oppla group is an online space for organisations to store their work and keep their community updated on project developments. Group members can upload news, articles, case studies, events, and any other information their community requires. Even if your project has ended, you can use groups to archive your outputs and resources, spreading your message to thousands that care.

We also offer a bespoke service to personalise your group page, suitable for larger projects involving multiple organisations or requiring a more complex infrastructure, like A-track and CircHive.

Set up a group

Articles, case studies, events, and resources, are the main content styles you can post in your group. Within these categories, you can share videos, pictures, infographics, event details, and more, depending on your needs. 

Groups are open to anyone that wants to share knowledge or has an interest in learning more about nature-based solutions, biodiversity, and protecting nature. This can include teachers, campaigners, scientists, students, senior academics, business owners, artists- the list goes on. It’s up to individual groups to define membership criteria and review requests to join.
