What is an environmental inventory and how does it work?

An environmental inventory is a detailed description of the current state of environmental parameters at a specific site. It serves as a baseline for assessing the potential impacts of proposed actions on the environment. UNESP conducts the environmental inventory on-site, aiming for greater transparency in data collection and providing accurate information about the local biodiversity.

How does it work?

1. Data Collection: Gather comprehensive data on various environmental factors such as air, water, soil and biodiversity.

2. Analysis: Evaluate the collected data to understand the current environmental conditions.

3. Documentation: Record the findings to create a baseline.

4. Impact Assessment: Use the baseline to predict and assess the potential environmental impacts of proposed project.
