ecological impact assessment

Ecological impact assessment (EIA) is a process used to evaluate the potential effects of a proposed project on the environment. It examines factors like wildlife, vegetation, water quality, and air pollution. By identifying and predicting environmental changes, stakeholders can make informed decisions about whether to proceed, modify, or abandon a project. The goal of EIA is to minimize negative impacts on ecosystems and promote sustainable development, ensuring that economic growth does not come at the expense of environmental health and biodiversity.
