Wie können Sie die Auswirkungen eines Projekts auf die lokale Tierwelt während der UVP bewerten?

O conhecimento prévio acerca da área de interesse, bem como de áreas circunvizinhas, é imprescindível para dimensionar os possíveis impactos, diretos e indiretos, à fauna local. Diante disso, a metodologia empregada no reconhecimento proporciona identificar a heterogeneidade presente no local, e, por meio disso, adotar medidas de atuação mais assertivas.

O EIA é um estudo muito complexo e delicado de se conduzir, mas em contrapartida traz excelentes resultados, fazendo com que as ações de mitigação e neutralização da alteração causada no ambiente de referência, em fauna e flora. O que se recomenda é que seja conduzido, elaborado e monitorado por uma equipe multidisciplinar que em casa especificidade de aprendizados e conhecimento irão contribuir para execução e consolidação desse estudo.

Need to understand the water supply - ground and surface water. Very few areas are pristine and have already been altered by man. Mines often increase birding sites as they create more water impoundments and feeding areas. Understanding habitat is key before doing inventories of wildlife.

Yes, it is important to measure the baseline conditions of the ecosystem. In my experience starting point is to know the current status of the wildlife. Therefore, data can be gathered on the current populations of wildlife and the status of the ecosystems this will help to provide an important reference for tracking changes over time

Baseline data is essential to understanding impact. What will you impact and on what life cycle stages? The importance of an area for any species relative to other areas should be known. Typically there is some baseline data already but it is never comprehensive or recent enough to properly inform a full EIA.

Baseline populations are also critical to understand. Depressed populations can underrepresent useable or suitable habitat and distribution. This shifting baseline can have an effect on future and adjacent projects having potential effects. Historic conditions are always good to note even in areas apparently unrecoverable.

Yes but modelling is effectively informed guess work and typically looks at a worst case scenario. Modelling should describe assumptions made and estimated values and parameters used. These need to be accurate. Modelling can also be tested and checked in the field during works. Assessment of impacts should be based on referenced scientific literature.

En el proceso de predecir los impactos potenciales de un proyecto en la vida silvestre local durante las fases de construcción, operación y desmantelamiento, es fundamental utilizar diversas herramientas y técnicas de modelado y simulación. Estas herramientas pueden incluir matrices, redes, superposiciones y listas de comprobación.

Cette approche est bien pensée pour prédire les impacts potentiels d'un projet sur la faune locale. Elle est complète et couvre tous les aspects importants, y compris les impacts directs et indirects, les effets cumulatifs et synergiques, l'ampleur, la durée, la fréquence, la réversibilité et l'importance des impacts, ainsi que l'incertitude et la variabilité des données.

La prédiction des impacts environnementaux est cruciale pour la durabilité des projets. Elle nécessite l'utilisation d'outils variés pour modéliser les impacts directs et indirects. Les effets cumulatifs et synergiques, ainsi que l'ampleur, la durée, la fréquence, la réversibilité et l'importance des impacts sont également à considérer. Cette approche multidisciplinaire permet une meilleure gestion des écosystèmes et une planification de projet plus efficace.

Yes this is very important but tends to be subjective. Rating impacts based on informed opinion depends on how well informed the writer is and their opinion. Rating impacts should include a larger diverse group of people and knowledge.

Benchmarks- Apply relevant environmental standards, legal frameworks, and conservation goals to determine the severity and consequence of the predicted impacts. Different areas can have vastly different standards, pay special attention to same. Focus on local issues. 2) Talk to Locals: People tend to seek inputs from ecologists, conservation biologists, and other relevant specialists to interpret the data and assess the significance of the impacts. However, the locals are often ignored. Do give special attention to same.

La evaluación de la importancia de los impactos previstos en la fauna silvestre local es un paso crucial en el análisis ambiental de cualquier proyecto.

If the impacts are projected to cause more harm than benefits to the wildlife and the surrounding community, it's reasonable to turn it down. The UN's Sustainable Development Goals talks about meeting the needs of the current and future generations and taking responsibility for the life systems of the planet. The wildlife cannot be compromised to plant an industry, construct a road, start a farming project, etc. Wildlife is a part of the planet's life systems and can't be ignored.

Es muy importante tener claros los conocimientos o información previa al Estudio de impacto ambiental, el componente social y ambiental van de la mano, delimitar la zona de transito de especies así como de especies ya nativas que no salen de ese entorno. La cualificaciones y la cuantificación de las especies base del estudio. Y sobre todo tener estudio de alternativas que conlleven a evitar esos impactos, nunca el estudio debe llevarse a compensarse por qué eso ya da por sentado que vamos a hacer un daño ambiental siempres se debe tener desde un punto de minimizar y utilizar como herramienta de esto los planes de manejo ambiental ya en ejecución del proyecto. El factor social es crucial en esto y la información que brindan a la comunidad.

Mitigation is impact reduction not elimination, that is what it is and that is the definition of the word. If you can eliminate an impact then you change your construction process to do this. This removes the impact. When you are unable to do this you mitigate/reduce the impact as much as possible. It is important not to confuse the two

La restauración se centra en la rehabilitación de áreas afectadas, y la compensación implica contrarrestar los impactos negativos con acciones positivas. Además, es crucial considerar posibles compensaciones y conflictos con otros objetivos ambientales y sociales. La mejora constante de las medidas de mitigación debe ser respaldada por un enfoque sostenible que garantice la protección a largo plazo de la vida silvestre y la integridad del ecosistema.

Exact, c'est la partie qui nécessite beaucoup d'attention pour éviter les dangers environnements pendant ou après le projet. La mitigation, adaptation ou la restitution de la faune doit rentrer dans les stratégies ou politiques de la mise en œuvre du projet.

Social acceptance of mitigation measures is a critical factor when planning projects that impact local wildlife. It's essential to involve the local communities sharing the habitat or landscape in the decision-making process. Their acceptance ensures the measures are not only scientifically sound but also culturally and socially acceptable. This involvement can lead to more effective and sustainable outcomes, as the people most affected by the project become active participants in mitigating its impacts. Therefore, while designing mitigation strategies, the social aspect should be given equal importance to ensure the measures' sustainability.

The strive should be to reduce the impact as much as possible. Mitigation means that we directly change as little as we can, leaving as much indigenous availability as possible. Elimination must always be rejected as it will negatively impact the environment, and as we’ve seen in the past, will change the very nature of the surrounding ecosystems.

Indeed, the follow-up phase is critical in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process. It's during this phase that the effectiveness of the mitigation measures is truly tested. Unfortunately, it's often observed that once the implementation period is over, the follow-up on these measures tends to wane. This lack of sustained monitoring can significantly hamper the main aim of the project. Therefore, it's crucial to ensure that the mitigation measures are not just implemented, but also monitored and adjusted as necessary, even beyond the project's completion. This will help in achieving the project's primary goal of protecting and conserving local wildlife effectively and sustainably.

What, if any migratory paths have been impacted? What other indigenous wildlife has been negatively impacted due to the loss of other (relocated) species. Has the insect population been impacted - too many new, or too few as a result? What about flora and fauna? Has pollen properly been distributed?

Yes, it's helpful to do a follow-up because things are easier said than done. Probably, an EIA committee can help to assess the success of the mitigation measures and ensure they're implemented to minimize or avoid critical impacts to the local wildlife and the surrounding community. The feedback from the multidisciplinary team can help improve the mitigation measures and know how to enhance the feasibility of these measures.

The EIA needs to thoroughly understand or describe fully the construction or project details. Typically lack of full knowledge of the project, leads to incorrect assessment of impact. Assumptions can be made to cover worst case possibilities but industry knowledge is as important as environmental knowledge in assessing impact.

Context is everything. Its really difficult to contribute on this not knowing the whole context socially, politically, and the whole picture of the surrounding ecology.

EIA on Wildlife is an important process that needs a lot of planning, consulting and continuous stakeholders engagement. Develop clear plans for local stakeholders participation. Further amendment of plans must be minimal that it does not affect the scope of the overall outline of the assessment. A sub national government in an African country earmarked a large portion of land for palm oil plantation. The EIA conducted failed to adequately add local perspectives even with due consultation. The result is devastation of wildlife and the local economy. This action is also hampering the oil palm plantation from getting the required certifications to be exported. Planning and community engagement are keys for a successful EIA on wildlife.
