What is an Ecological Report?

An ecological report is a comprehensive document that assesses the potential impacts of a development project on local ecosystems, including both flora and fauna. This report is essential for identifying ecological constraints, risks, and the necessary mitigation measures to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and support sustainable development goals.
