Natural Resource Data
EkoInfo CC, in association with other specialists, is capable of collecting natural resource data on a national, provincial, or local scale. The information from these surveys is used in State of the Environment Reports, Strategic Environmental Assessments or provincial environmental monitoring.
Capabilities
Using its in-house expertise, or in association with other specialists, EkoInfo conducts surveys for research on national, provincial, regional, and local scales.
These contribute mainly to environmental support and decision systems in terms of the National Environmental Management Act No 107 of 1998, e.g. State of the Environment Reports (SoERs), Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEAs), and natural resource inventories, e.g. land use and status.
On a local level or for the private sector, EkoInfo monitors the influence of the specific industry on the environment, in compliance with permits issued by the relevant government departments, e.g. Water Affairs, Minerals and Energy, Agriculture, or Environment.
For projects that require monitoring, scientifically recognised quantitative or qualitative methods are applied in conjunction with baseline surveys. The method will depend on the nature of the parameter(s) to be monitored.
