Will the project

3.1 Impacts of extraction of natural resources

The provision of raw materials to the industry may have considerable environmental impacts. Separate booklets have been developed for the following resources sectors:

No. 1 Agriculture.
No. 2 Animal husbandry.
No. 3 Forestry.
No. 4 Fisheries.
No. 5 Aquaculture.
No. 7 Water supply, drainage and irrigation.
No. 10 Mining activities.
No. 14 Oil and gas.

In addition a booklet has been made concerning the supply of energy for hydropower.

No. 6 Hydropower development.

If extraction of natural resources is a part of the industrial project, this should be included in the initial assessment of the project. Refer to the mentioned booklets for more information.
