Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program

The Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program involves initiatives to improve or compensate for environmental impacts caused by development projects. When a project might harm natural areas or ecosystems, this program ensures actions are taken to restore, preserve, or create environmental benefits elsewhere. It aims to balance development needs with environmental health by funding activities such as habitat restoration, pollution reduction, or conservation efforts. Essentially, it helps minimize environmental damage and promote sustainability, ensuring that progress does not come at the expense of the environment.
