Establish a national pathway with professional bodies to accelerate early-career ecologist training.
Recommendation
The Government should partner with professional bodies to accelerate the training of early-career ecologists through a national level, government- supported pathway, similar to that of the Pathways to Planning programme backed by the Local Government Association and MHCLG. The first iteration of this programme should be introduced by September 2027, at the very latest. (Recommendation, Paragraph 191)
