1. Environmental Impacts: The effects that human activities or natural processes have on the
environment, including changes to ecosystems, habitats, and resources.
2. Cumulative impacts: The combined or aggregated effects of multiple actions, events, or
processes on the environment over time, resulting from the interaction and accumulation
of individual impacts.
3. Mitigation: Actions or strategies implemented to reduce, minimize, or offset the negative
impacts of human activities on the environment, aimed at preserving or restoring
ecological balance and sustainability.
4. ‘In situ’ conservation: Conservation efforts focused on protecting and preserving
ecosystems, habitats, or species within their natural environment or original location,
rather than relocating or altering them.
5. Rehabilitation and closure: The process of restoring or redeveloping areas impacted by
human activities, such as mining or industrial operations, to a condition suitable for their
intended or natural use, often following the cessation of these activities.
6. Environmental Management Programme (EMPr’s): Comprehensive plans or strategies
designed to manage and control environmental impacts associated with specific projects,
activities, or operations, typically outlining measures for monitoring, mitigation, and
compliance with regulations.
7. Line source: A continuous or elongated source of pollution or environmental impact,
such as a road, pipeline, or industrial facility, which emits pollutants or generates impacts
along its length or extent.
8. Direct impacts: Immediate or primary effects of human activities on the environment,
typically occurring as a direct result of specific actions, processes, or events.
9. Noise-sensitive area: Locations or environments where noise pollution can have
significant adverse effects on human health, well-being, or the surrounding ecosystem,
often requiring special consideration or mitigation measures.
10. Environmental Impact Assessment: A systematic process of evaluating the potential
environmental consequences and impacts of proposed projects, developments, or
activities before they are undertaken, involving the identification, prediction, and
assessment of potential effects to inform decision-making and ensure environmental
sustainability.
