No, ecologists don’t need professional accreditation in New Zealand. Ecologists can get professional accreditation, but it's not a requirement for them to work. In general, greater emphasis is put on their level of university training and how many years of experience they have. The pathway for professional accreditation for ecologists in New Zealand is via the Environmental Institute of Australia and New Zealand. It involves some minimum requirements such as level of training and experience. It's not a minimum requirement for ecologists in New Zealand to be accredited, and it's something that's still relatively new, but it's a growing area of interest. There are potential benefits to accreditation, particularly on projects where a lot of compliance is required. That’s because it provides assurance to regulators that certain minimum criteria have been met. So, it's something we may see more of in future years in New Zealand.
