ABSTRACT

Ecological and biodiversity (EB) assessments are critical components of environmental impact assessments (EIA), particularly in project planning and environmental clearance processes. This paper presents a comprehensive methodology for conducting EB studies within and around a project site, with an emphasis on data collection, quality assurance, and data interpretation. Methodologies include field-based sampling, secondary data sourcing, biodiversity indexing, and stakeholder consultations. The role of habitat mapping, endangered species evaluation, and mitigation planning are also addressed. Further, greenbelt development is discussed as an effective ecological management strategy. 

Keywords: Ecology; Biodiversity; EIA; Habitat Assessment; Greenbelt Development; Species Indexing; Impact Mitigation; Data Quality; India
