Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs)

Comprehensive evaluation of the potential environmental impacts presented by any new development process, from mining to industrial development, are a basic requirement throughout the world. At the heart of any environmental assessment is the integration and evaluation of the proposed project, and the impacts on the biophysical, social, and economic spectrum. The resulting information is used to determine potential trade-offs or alternatives that balance socio-economic, biophysical, ecological, and financial (project) parameters.
