Let's dive into the world of environmental assessments and ecological footprints! Picture this: we're about to build a massive amusement park, but first, we need to check how it will affect the local environment. This is where Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Ecological Footprint (EF) come in. 🎢

An EIA is like a checkup for the environment before any major development project. Just like your doctor checks your health before recommending any new exercises or diets!

• This is a snapshot of the environment before the project begins. It's like taking a group photo before a party, to remember who was there and how everything looked!
• The baseline study includes social and cultural aspects, keystone species (those that have a disproportionately large effect on their habitats), red-listed species (those threatened with extinction), and unique habitats.
