Chapter 5: Mitigation Measures
Mitigation of impacts is the stage to determine the possible preventive, remedial or compensatory
measures for each of the adverse impacts identified. The measures for mitigation include
prevention, control, rehabilitation and compensation. A detailed field evaluation of the impact on
wildlife is described in Chapter 7 and the Guidance Document on WMP for EIA.
