Environmental impact refers to the effect of human activities on the environment, encompassing both direct and indirect consequences.
It involves alterations to ecosystems, depletion of natural resources, pollution, and changes in biodiversity. Understanding and mitigating environmental impact is crucial for sustainable development.
Comprehensive assessments, often conducted through Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), help evaluate the potential consequences of projects, policies, or activities on the environment, aiding in the formulation of strategies to minimize negative effects and promote ecological conservation and balance.
