The main objective is to conduct an in-depth environmental impact assessment to comprehensively understand the area's ecological status and potential challenges. By analyzing the environmental data, the project aims to identify existing environmental damage, assess climate change risks, and propose sustainable conservation measures to address these issues.

The mapping and assessment of the conservation area will contribute significantly to SDG 13 - Climate Action. Through accurate analysis of environmental data, potential environmental damage can be mitigated, climate change impacts can be addressed, and informed decisions can be made to ensure the area's long-term sustainability and resilience.

By conducting a thorough environmental impact assessment, the project will not only protect the local biodiversity and natural resources but also benefit the local communities in the region. Empowering the community with comprehensive data on the area's environmental status will enable them to make informed decisions about sustainable resource management and conservation practices.
