Environmental Assessment is a process used to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of a proposed project or action. It helps decision-makers understand how a project might affect the surrounding environment, including air, water, and wildlife. This assessment typically involves collecting data, analyzing potential effects, and considering alternatives to minimize harm. The process often includes public participation, allowing community members to voice their concerns and suggestions. Environmental Assessments are commonly required for large projects, such as construction, mining, or infrastructure development, ensuring that environmental considerations are integrated into planning and decision-making.
