Hi fasi
I think your query need a long answer .. or a long demonstration
Say for EIA, the outcome of the ecological survey need to
signify the Biodiversity aspects of the area
Biodiversity again includes
1. identification of ecological landscapes viz agro-forest, wetland, natural vegetation
2. taxonomic survey of flora & fauna (eg. flora of the area)
3. sampling and assessment of ecological parameters (eg density, dominance)
4. screening of threat and important species of conservation value
5. proposal of protection, awareness, conservation plan, etc
For no. 1 point - u need experience in the field of ecology
no. 2 point - a sound knowledge in taxonomy and experienced in
identification of species
no. 3 point - sampling of species such as plants by quadrate, transect
or point center quarter method; collection secondary information
on fauna; photographic compilation of birds and animals with ID
no. 4 point - awareness and identification of endemic, threat, rare,
important (medicinal, timber value, regionally important) species
no. 5 point - concept of in-situ and ex-situ conservation; Biodiversity park, arboretum,
or others (butterfly park, gene conservation), wildlife management etc etc
So you can now define what is the methodology for your requirement
all the best
