Ecological studies and biodiversity inventory
At Al-Ba’ad Al-Bia’i Company, we offer ecological studies and biodiversity surveys in project areas and environmentally sensitive sites. These studies aim to understand the components of ecosystems, document existing plant and animal species, and assess the condition of natural habitats and their impact from proposed or existing activities, thus contributing to the protection of natural resources and the achievement of sustainable development.
What are ecological studies and biodiversity inventory?
Ecological studies are specialized scientific studies that focus on analyzing the relationship between living organisms and their environments, and monitoring changes that may result from human activities.
Biodiversity inventorying focuses on documenting plant and animal species in a specific area, identifying rare or endangered species, and assessing the environmental and conservation importance of the site.
These studies are an important part of environmental impact assessment and long-term plans for natural resource management.
Service Goals
- Documenting biodiversity in project areas (plants, animals, birds, reptiles, and other organisms when needed).
- Assessing the condition of natural habitats (terrestrial or aquatic) and their degree of sensitivity to changes.
- Analysis of the potential impacts of the proposed activity on ecosystems and living organisms.
- Propose measures and alternatives that reduce negative impacts and preserve biodiversity.
- Supporting owners in meeting the requirements of regulatory and international bodies related to the protection of biodiversity.
Methodology of work in ecological studies
1. Gathering preliminary information
Review of maps, aerial photographs, available site data, and regulatory requirements related to biodiversity.
2. Designing the field survey plan
Determining the locations of survey points, visit periods, and appropriate monitoring methods for each biological group (plants, birds, etc.), taking into account the climatic seasons.
3. Field Implementation
Conducting field visits to the site, recording the observed species, describing the natural habitats, documenting them with photos and observations, and using approved field models.
4. Data analysis and environmental assessment
Species classification, identification of rare or protected species, assessment of habitat importance, and analysis of the extent to which they are affected by the proposed or existing activity.
5. Establishing protection and compensation procedures
Proposing measures to reduce impacts such as modifying the course of some work, creating buffer zones, or scheduling activities outside of sensitive breeding seasons, in addition to compensatory proposals when needed (habitat restoration, afforestation, etc.).
Preparing the full report
Prepare a simple and clear scientific report that includes a description of the site, the survey methodology, lists of species, impact analysis, and proposed actions for protection and improvement.
Service Outputs
- A report on ecological studies and biodiversity inventory includes:
- A detailed description of the natural environment and key habitats in the project area.
- Lists of observed plant and animal species with notes on their conservation status.
- Maps or diagrams illustrating areas of high environmental sensitivity.
- An assessment of the potential impacts of the activity on biodiversity.
- A set of recommendations and administrative and technical procedures for the protection and sustainability of biodiversity.
- An executive summary for management outlining key findings, critical points, and priority actions.
Benefits of environmental consulting services for projects
- Reducing regulatory risks associated with impacting sensitive organisms or habitats.
- Supporting the acquisition of environmental approvals and licenses, especially for projects located in environments of high environmental value.
- Improving the project's image is part of the company's responsibility towards the environment and society.
- To provide a reliable scientific basis for sustainability and corporate social responsibility plans.
- Contributing to the preservation of biodiversity and natural resources for future generations.
