"Assessment is required for all major construction projects and for other mass alterations to the natural or urban landscape and there are different types of EIA that can be made according to the needs of the project, the requirements of the law and other parameters of change. Some types of impact assessment are more difficult to attain than others and the Ecological Impact Assessment is the most difficult, more than other types, with more uncertainties to be included and a broader potential for change to be considered. The ecological impact assessment is a form of risk assessment to indicate what the risks of an action may be. This will be considered in terms of various examples as well as what will be required for an EIA for a massive project in Hong Kong in the near future."
