AU - Anstee, Stuart AU - Meyer, Mike TI - Good Practices for the Collection of Biodiversity Baseline Data PY - 2015 Y1 - 2015/07/21 DO - 10.18235/0006516 AB - This document is produced for corporations, lenders, regulators, and others involved in conducting Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs). It summarizes "good practices" for biodiversity baseline studies that support biodiversity-inclusive impact assessment and management planning in ESIAs. This document is based on a review and synthesis of various reports and guidance documents from multi-lateral financing institutions (MFIs), government regulators, industry associations, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). It is not intended to replace ESIA guidance, but rather to supplement it where biodiversity is not adequately covered. This document is a companion to Good Practices for Biodiversity-Inclusive Impact Assessment and Management Planning. UR - https://doi.org/10.18235/0006516 ER -
