Abstract

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a crucial process in the realm of developmental projects, aiming to evaluate and mitigate the environmental repercussions of various initiatives. This study delves into the methodologies employed for assessing the potential environmental impacts associated with developmental projects, such as infrastructure developments. It particularly focuses on addressing issues like biodiversity loss and disruptions in ecosystems that may arise due to such projects. The primary objective of this research is to advocate for sustainable practices within developmental projects. By analyzing and understanding the environmental consequences, it seeks to provide insights into achieving a balance between development goals and environmental conservation efforts. Through comprehensive assessments, the study aims to inform policymakers, project planners, and stakeholders about the significance of integrating effective EIA measures into project planning processes. By emphasizing the importance of responsible and eco-friendly development practices, this study aims to contribute to the broader discourse on sustainable development. It highlights the necessity of considering environmental factors alongside economic and social considerations in project planning. Ultimately, the findings of this research endeavor to foster a more holistic approach towards developmental projects, ensuring their compatibility with environmental preservation goals.
