Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs)

Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) are studies conducted to evaluate the potential effects of a proposed project or development on the environment. They identify possible negative impacts, such as pollution or habitat destruction, and suggest ways to mitigate these effects. EIAs help decision-makers understand the environmental consequences before proceeding with projects like construction, mining, or infrastructure development. This process involves public consultation and collaboration with various stakeholders to ensure that concerns are addressed and that sustainable practices are considered. Ultimately, EIAs aim to protect ecosystems and promote responsible development.
