In the United States a "special interest group" is a body of citizens that has a special issue that brings them together. Here is an example of a such a group:

A town neighborhood is adjacent to an undeveloped piece of land that is home to many kinds of wildlife. The town plans to allow this land to be used to build an apartment complex. The people in the area are opposed to this and form a special interest group to make the area free from commercial development. The group may enlist local officials, environmental organizations and other groups or individuals who want the wildlife area preserved.

Special interest groups cover all areas of the public domain. The example given serves as an illustration.
