It aims to understand the impact of railway projects on local ecosystems, identify protected species and habitats, and develop strategies to mitigate potential environmental impacts. Some of the key aspects include:
• Biodiversity Assessments
• Protected Species Identification
• Habitat Assessment
• Environmental Impact Assessment
• Habitat Management and Restoration
