Resource description:
This practical report compiles a comprehensive catalogue of biodiversity enhancement and mitigation measures identified within spatial planning’s Environmental Assessments (EAs). Drawing on experienced-based practices, it systematically documents interventions applied to protect and restore biodiversity during land-use planning activities.
Organized clearly for usability, the document outlines each measure alongside contextual descriptions—covering objectives, implementation guidance, potential constraints, and expected environmental benefits. Categories span compensatory habitat creation, green infrastructure integration, species-specific protections, ecological corridors, restoration actions, and pollution control strategies.
This resource serves as an essential tool for environmental planners, consultants, policymakers, and researchers. It enables:
- Structured decision support during EA stages for selecting suitable biodiversity measures.
- Enhanced design of spatial plans by referencing tested ecological interventions.
- Policy development and review, offering a consolidated reference for biodiversity-friendly planning instruments.
Academic and training use, illustrating real-world practices across diverse planning scenarios.
