The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the Ramsar Convention, and the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) recognize Impact Assessment as a significant decision-support tool that assist planning and implementation of development with biodiversity “in mind.” Article 8 of the Biodiversity Convention gives justification for the application of impact assessment toward protection of ecosystems and natural habitat IAIA (2005). In order words, CBD require impact assessment to identify possibilities to quantify land cover characteristics or indicators that influence habitat transformations in an ecosystem. Ecosystem structure, a considered level of our assessment, concerns the organisation of various biological units in space and time.
