===United Kingdom=== The UK's professional body is the [[Landscape Institute]] (LI). It is a [[charter]]ed body that accredits landscape professionals and university courses. At present there are fifteen accredited programmes in the UK. Membership of the LI is available to students, academics and professionals, and there are over 3,000 professionally qualified members.{{Citation needed|date=January 2021}} The Institute provides services to assist members including support and promotion of the work of landscape architects; information and guidance to the public and industry about the specific expertise offered by those in the profession; and training and educational advice to students and professionals looking to build upon their experience.{{Citation needed|date=January 2021}} In 2008, the LI launched a major recruitment drive entitled "I want to be a Landscape Architect" to encourage the study of Landscape Architecture. The campaign aimed to raise the profile of landscape architecture and highlight its valuable role in building [[sustainable communities]] and fighting [[climate change]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.landscapeinstitute.org/media/CCPositionStatement.php |title=CC Position Statement |work=landscapeinstitute.org |year=2011 |access-date=30 May 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110613043428/http://www.landscapeinstitute.org/media/CCPositionStatement.php |archive-date=13 June 2011}}</ref> As of July 2018, the "I want to be a Landscape Architect" initiative was replaced by a brand new careers campaign entitled ''#ChooseLandscape'', which aims to raise awareness of landscape as a profession; improve and increase access to landscape education; and inspire young people to choose landscape as a career.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.landscapeinstitute.org/news/chooselandscape-launch-get-involved/|title=#ChooseLandscape launches next month β here's how to get involved {{!}} Landscape Institute|last=Gosling|first=Ben|language=en-GB|access-date=2019-01-31}}</ref> This new campaign includes other landscape-related professions such as landscape management, landscape planning, landscape science and urban design.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.chooselandscape.org/choose-your-career/|title=Choose Your Career β Chooselandscape|language=en-US|access-date=2019-01-31}}</ref>
