The primary objective of environmental impact assessments (EIAs) is to evaluate the potential effects of proposed projects on the environment before implementation. EIAs help identify significant environmental concerns and promote informed decision-making by considering ecological, social, and economic factors. This process allows for the mitigation of negative impacts and promotes sustainable development practices by encouraging stakeholders to consider alternatives. By effectively integrating environmental considerations into planning, EIAs help preserve biodiversity and safeguard ecosystems from detrimental changes associated with development activities.
