Ecology & Biodiversity Solutions

The process of urbanization has put tremendous pressure on land use, which has created substantial changes in land use and natural areas/habitats. Natural areas in urban areas are converted into built environments, which has an impact on biodiversity, and surrounding environments. This interferes with the proper functioning of ecological networks.

This is the new realm opened by BEIPL and services offered under the

Tree inventory: Gathering detailed information about a selected subset of trees within a specific area. This allows better monitoring of individual trees, understanding their maintenance needs, assessing risks, planning pruning or removal activities, and making informed decision regarding tree care and management.

Greenbelt assessment: Using remote sensing and GIS analysis, field surveys, ecological assessment, land use analysis, recommendations for upgradation with compliance for CPCB and MPCB for greenbelt requirements.

Biodiversity assessment and management plan: Existing biodiversity interests, protected species, and any possible impacts on them, details of any measures proposed to mitigate or compensate for the impacts. Detailed study will help in identifying the issues and the negative-positive interaction between the ecology and biodiversity. Key components under biodiversity management plan will include; biodiversity assessment, conservation objectives, threat identification and mitigation, stakeholder engagement, conservation action and strategies, monitoring and evaluation, and adaptive management.

Carbon sequestration assessment: Inventory based method will be used for assessing carbon sequestration. It covers; above ground and below ground tree biomass, leaf litter and dead biomass, and soil biomass.
