Biodiversity assessments
Biodiversity assessments are conducted in order to determine the overall integrity (health) and functioning of the biotic environment, through the study of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
Findings and conclusions from the specialist studies are incorporated into a management strategy. The strategy provides mitigation and action plans for biodiversity management, an interactive mapping tool is developed to aid in management of biodiversity priority areas as part of a Biodiversity and Land Management Plan.
Studies can also include:
- Evaluation and monitoring of rehabilitated areas to determine if natural plant succession is proceeding and biodiversity is improving;
- Biodiversity monitoring in selected natural areas to give an indication of potential issues or impacts that may arise from various activities;
- Incorporating protected tree permitting into the process to identify suitable areas for relocation; and
- Identification of management units with specific goals set to either maintain the current biodiversity status or improve such.
