Fergus Anckorn has significant international experience in the management and execution of environmental impact assessments and audits for resource development and waste management projects across a wide range of physical, biological and social issues.

His experience covers industrial development and environmental management at both a national, strategic level (for government departments in association with international funding agencies) and project level (for private companies and funding institutions).

Project work under UK planning provisions includes complex waste management and mining developments involving full environmental impact assessments and planning inquiry assignments for private industry and local authorities.

As a Resource Development Strategist for the New Zealand Ministry of Commerce, Mr. Anckorn developed strategies for resource utilisation and undertook a comprehensive review of the application of international environmental standards to New Zealand. This led to publication of environmental guidelines and drafting of new mining legislation.

As Manager of the Energy Ministry's Audit and Standards Group he was responsible for the technical and environmental audit of all applications for grants of mineral exploration and mining licences in New Zealand.
