Synopsis

Too often in developed nations the assumption is made that major projects and changes to the existing environment will inevitably bring problems and wreak long-term damage on our fragile planet, where life is precariously balanced. How have we come to this view? Why are the impacts of major developments, and even minor changes to local conditions, viewed with such foreboding by the public and reported with promises of imminent doom by the media?
In this book, we aim to provide average members of the public with the means to understand an EIA and through their understanding, to equip them with the tools to make worthwhile, constructive and substantive comment to any development proposal which may affect them or those for whom they feel responsible.

About this title

Synopsis

Legislation in the EU, US and Australia requires all developers to submit an Environmental Impact Study. This volume aims to provide average members of the public with the means to understand such a study; and to make worthwhile, constructive and substantive comment to any development proposal.
