4. SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY<br />
• To identify and map the vegetation units as ecosystems that occur on the<br />
site,<br />
• To assess the ecological sensitivity of these ecosystems comment on<br />
ecologically sensitive areas, in term of their biodiversity and where needed<br />
ecosystem function<br />
• To assess qualitatively and quantitatively the significance of the habitat<br />
components and current general conservation status of the site,<br />
• To comment on connectivity with natural vegetation and habitats on adjacent<br />
sites,<br />
• To recommend suitable buffer zones, if relevant,<br />
• To provide a list of plant and vertebrate fauna species that do or might occur<br />
on site and that may be affected by the development, and to identify species<br />
of conservation concern,<br />
• To highlight potential impacts of the proposed development on vegetation,<br />
fauna and flora of the study site, and<br />
• To provide management recommendations that might mitigate negative and<br />
enhance positive impacts, should the proposed development be approved.<br />
