Environmental Impact Assessments are typically conducted by environmental consultants or specialists.
The purpose of an EIA is to identify, predict, and evaluate the environmental effects of a proposed project before decisions are made.
A key component of an EIA report includes an assessment of potential impacts on flora, fauna, air quality, water resources, and community resources.
EIAs evaluate various factors such as ecological, social, and economic impacts as well as potential mitigation strategies.

A primary objective of conducting an EIA is to inform decision-makers and the public about the environmental implications of a project.
Stakeholders involved in the EIA process often include project developers, governmental agencies, environmental organizations, and local communities.
