I propose that EKVE be re-routed so that no forest needs to be destroyed.
Page ES-19:
During operation the presence of cleared strip along the forest areas (e.g. forest
reserves) will have an impact on wildlife movements, roaming habitat and migratory
route especially on larger mammal species (tapir and tiger) and primate (e.g. Gibbon).
The cleared forest strip directly reduces the habitat (resources) availability for wildlife
species to maintain the viable population especially the larger species and open areas
would invite poachers to come for hunting. The impact of barrier (the existence of
cleared forest strip and structures) is expected to be permanent.
There are mitigating actions suggested, but I’m not sure about it…
