Continued monitoring of the project impact is important to address the real-time scenario and
enables more effective mitigating measures.
- TRUE
It provides information on land cover and the types of human activity involved/permitted in the
land use.
- Land use and classification
It is important to establish baseline date for a project because it will be used to monitor the
impacts of the project.
- TRUE
Genetic diversity is important to the survival of a species that is why it is important to keep the
population at healthy numbers.
- TRUE
Geological factors do not play a significant role when constructing a landfill, because landfills
are only constructed above ground
