·EIA practitioners must be registered with EAPASA (Environmental Assessment Practitioners Association of South Africa) for regulated assessment work.
·Conservation posts with SANParks and provincial nature reserves often require a BSc in Natural Sciences, Ecology, or Conservation Biology.
·Climate and sustainability roles increasingly require knowledge of GHG accounting frameworks such as the GHG Protocol and South Africa's Carbon Tax Act.
