What is an Ecology Survey?
An ecology survey is a process used to gather data about the natural environment, focusing on habitats, species, and ecosystems. It involves identifying, mapping, and assessing various ecological features, such as habitats, invasive species, and protected wildlife, to understand their distribution, status, and potential impacts on development projects.
The data collected is crucial for informed decision-making in environmental conservation, ensuring compliance with ecological regulations, and promoting sustainable development practices.
