In general environmental assessment activities involve one or more of the following: conducting site inventories, mapping and/or modelling species occurences and habitats, preforming impact assessments as required by law and identifying impact mitigations.

Regulatory approval process planning occcurs in Tanzania require the preparation of an environmental impact assessment (EIA) to determine the magnitude of impact proposed project is likely to have on the natural environment. If your project triggers an EIA, Danito will design and implement an assessment approach tailored to your specific site location as required by regulatory approvals.

Cumulative effects are defined as the impact on the environment which results from the incremental impact of an action when added to other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions. Thus, cumulative effects assessments attempt to identify whether an acceptable level of risk has or will be exceeded by a proposed project. Key components of a CEA include defining the acceptable level of risk threshold, identifying relevant spatial and temporal scales of assessment, and obtaining detailed GIS datasets for the chosen scale of assessment.

Impact mitigation and monitoring is the process of identifying how to best diminish expected adverse effects of a proposed project, and then monitor post development site conditions to determine how successful implemented mitigation techniques have been. The mitigation process is often an iterative one and may include activities such as re-routing, design modification, timing constraints, spatial setbacks or issue specific protocols (e.g. sediment and erosion control, caribou protection plans). Danito is ready to work with you to design both mitigation and monitoring strategies that will best empower your project, while ensuring the maintenance of continued ecological features, functions and conditions.
