Parts B and C will help you prepare the environmental side of your proposal. Projects that involve altering the environment (construction, activities, etc.) should have an environmental impact assessment (EIA) completed before they are started. To help you understand the impacts of your proposal you will complete several short exercises. In the first case you will consider possible impacts of your proposal and in the second complete a rudimentary EIA of your project.
Part B: You are to prepare a brief overview of the possible environmental impacts (air, water, land and life forms) that your ecotourism project could have in your chosen location.
For your assignment become acquainted with the location and prepare a short overview of the main environmental impacts that ecotourism could have. You need to consider what components of the water, land, etc. that will be most affected. You will want to research impacts of similar activities or projects or impacts specific to the location (i.e. aquatic environments, forested environments etc). You can use the internet to find reference material as well as any other journals or other print sources.
Remember to keep it brief, you are primarily identifying the main possible impacts (8-10) with a short description or explanation for each. This section should not be more than two pages (400-600 words). You can use bullet points rather than formal essay style (as in the example below) but be sure to cite your references PROPERLY and include a proper reference list (such as APA style format).
