Environmental Mitigation

Environmental mitigation involves actions taken to reduce or offset the environmental impacts of a project or activity. When a development might harm natural habitats, water quality, or air quality, mitigation strategies aim to minimize these effects—such as creating conservation areas, installing pollution controls, or restoring affected ecosystems. The goal is to balance development with environmental protection, ensuring that any unavoidable harm is either lessened or compensated for so that nature’s health and resources are preserved for future generations.
