What is an ecological survey?
An ecological survey is an assessment conducted to evaluate the presence of wildlife, habitats, and ecological features within a specific area. It helps determine the potential environmental impact of a development or land use project.
These surveys identify protected species, important habitats, and biodiversity considerations, ensuring compliance with environmental laws and planning regulations. Ecological surveys are often required for planning applications, conservation projects, and land management decisions to minimize harm to ecosystems and promote sustainable development.
