Hi,
Firstly apologies for the silence since before the New Year. We begin 2009 with the need to instigate a much stronger establishment of the Certified Environmental Practitioner process. EIANZ is lobbying the Commonwealth and States to better recognise the need for a minimum standard of experience for anyone in a position of environmental responsibility.
Professional Certification
As a first step, we need appropriately qualified ecologists to become certified so we can establish the reputation of CEnvP. Please, if you believe you qualify (see the article "Should I be Certified" below), do apply at http://www.cenvp.org for the next round. If you do not yet have the relevant number of years experience, then please consider joining EIANZ and becoming actively involved in understanding the principles under which practitioners work. Over time, there is a real scope to improve the profession if we take our own initiative to regulate standards.
Ecological Impact Assessment Guidelines
Our colleagues in New Zealand have begun the process of considering EcIA Guidelines. In the coming weeks we hope to bring you more and there will be the chance for comment at some stage, when there is a document prepared. Note, we will also be running a workshop in August at the INTECOL Conference in Brisbane.
"Breaking the Barriers" Symposium on Linear Infrastructure
EIANZ SEQ is running a 3-day symposium - a must for any environmental consultant and ecologist who works on linear developments such as roads, railways and pipelines. See the link to postings below for more detail. A symposium brochure can be downloaded here.
