Ecological impact assessment (EcIA) is used to predict and evaluate the impacts of development on ecosystems and their components,thereby providing the information needed to ensure that ecological issues are given full and proper consideration in development planning. Environmental impact assessment (EIA) has emerged as a key to sustainable development by integrating social, economic and environmental issues in many countries. EcIA has a major part to play as a component of EIA but also has other potential applications in 606 $aEcological assessment (Biology) 606 $aApplied ecology 615 0$aEcological assessment (Biology) 615 0$aApplied ecology. 676 $a333.95/14 676 $a577.2 700 $aTreweek$b Jo$0772226 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778869003321 996 $aEcological impact assessment$91576376 997 $aUNINA
