Technical Justification Study (TJS) For Land Use Change In Forested Areas
El desarrollo social, ciudades y los grandes proyectos de infraestructura, aunque esenciales para el crecimiento económico, conllevan importantes desafíos ambientales, especialmente cuando implican la transformación de terrenos forestales. El Cambio de Uso de Suelo en Terrenos Forestales es un proceso delicado que requiere un enfoque preciso y comprometido con la sostenibilidad. En este sentido, el Estudio Técnico Justificativo (ETJ) es un documento clave que evalúa los impactos que podría generar este cambio en los ecosistemas, asegurando que se implementen las medidas adecuadas para mitigar cualquier efecto negativo en la biodiversidad, el suelo, el agua y otros recursos naturales.
Nuestra consultora ofrece un servicio integral de elaboración de Estudios Técnicos Justificativos para el Cambio de Uso de Suelo en Terrenos Forestales, dirigido a grandes empresas, proyectos de infraestructura, desarrolladores inmobiliarios, gobiernos, etc. A través de nuestro equipo de expertos, garantizamos que el proceso se realice de manera rigurosa, cumpliendo con todos los requisitos legales y priorizando la conservación de los recursos naturales.
What is a Technical Justification Study?
The Technical Justification Study (TJS) is a document aimed at demonstrating that the necessary measures to conserve biodiversity and mitigate environmental impacts have been adequately planned and will be implemented during and after the Land Use Change in Forested Areas. This study is required by current environmental regulations and must be submitted to the relevant authorities to obtain authorization for land use change in forested areas.
The TJS is not only a legal requirement but also an essential tool to ensure that land use change does not irreversibly compromise local ecosystems. Through this study, the goal is to ensure that soil erosion, carbon storage capacity, water quality, and water capture in the affected areas are protected or adequately restored.
Why is the Technical Justification Study Important?
Land Use Change in forested areas has a direct impact on ecosystems and the environmental services they provide. These lands play a crucial role in climate regulation, biodiversity conservation, water filtration, erosion prevention, and carbon sequestration, among other functions. Therefore, any change in their use must be carefully evaluated to ensure that environmental benefits are not lost and that negative impacts are mitigated or compensated.
Among the most notable benefits of the Technical Justification Study are:
- Regulatory Compliance. The TJS is an indispensable requirement to comply with environmental laws regulating the use of forested lands. Our consultancy ensures that all legal aspects are covered, minimizing the risk of penalties or project delays.
- Biodiversity Protection. The TJS identifies flora and fauna species that could be affected by land use change and proposes specific measures for their rescue, relocation, and protection.
- Sustainability. By analyzing the affected natural resources, the TJS promotes development that respects ecosystem limits, ensuring that the project is carried out sustainably and responsibly.
- Mitigation of Environmental Impacts. The TJS proposes preventive and mitigation measures to protect soil, water, flora, and fauna, ensuring that the project has the least possible impact on the natural environment.
What Does Our Technical Justification Study Include?
Our Technical Justification Study for Land Use Change in Forested Areas is a comprehensive document that covers all necessary aspects to ensure that the project complies with environmental regulations and contributes to sustainability. Below are the main components of the TJS:
- Description of the Proposed Land Use. We include a clear description of the intended use or uses of the land once the land use change is authorized. This includes details about the project and its objectives.
- Location and Total Area. The exact location of the land is detailed, specifying the polygons that will be affected by the land use change. The geographic location is represented through georeferenced maps in UTM coordinates.
- Description of Physical and Biological Elements. We analyze the environmental context of the land, including aspects such as the watershed, climate, soil types, topography, geology, and the composition of flora and fauna.
- Comparative Impact Analysis. We conduct a comparative analysis to evaluate how the environment will change once the Land Use Change is implemented. This includes comparisons between the current and projected situations, considering factors such as erosion, water quality, and biodiversity.
- Mitigation and Species Rescue Measures. We propose a detailed plan for the rescue and relocation of flora and fauna species that could be affected by the project. This plan includes the names of the species, relocation areas, and necessary actions to ensure their survival.
- Prevention and Mitigation of Impacts. We define preventive and mitigation measures to protect forest resources, soil, water, and biodiversity during the different stages of the project.
- Assessment of Affected Environmental Services. We analyze the environmental services that will be impacted by the land use change, such as water capture, climate regulation, or erosion prevention, and propose measures to minimize these impacts.
- Compliance with Regulations and Ecological Zoning Programs. We ensure that the study complies with Mexican official standards and other applicable legal provisions, including ecological zoning programs for the territory.
