In PETRONAS, identifying and addressing potential biodiversity impacts can be conducted through various approach. The approaches include:

I.BES Risk Profiling/ Screening for operational sites

II.Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Risk Assessment (BESRA)

III.Risk screening during site selection or design stage

IV.Part of assessment in Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) or other risk assessment tools

• I and II

• I, II and III

• I, II and IV

• All of the above

In assessing potential BES risk/ impact of project /operation, which of the following do we need to take into consideration :

I.Proximity to Protected Areas or any sensitive ecosystem and possibilities of operational activities impacting Protected Areas/ environmentally-sensitive areas

II.Presence of endangered flora and fauna

III.Resource use to supply development and operational stages, e.g. water, timber and food requirements that can affect biodiversity away from the core activity area

IV.Local, regional and national conservation priorities

• I and II

• I, II and III

• I, II and IV

• All of the above

Our activities can impact Biodiversity & Ecosystem Services (BES) in many ways. The area marked X is area that can be impacted by _________ impact of the project.

• Direct

• Cumulative

• Indirect

BES mitigation plan should be guided by the mitigation hierarchy, which can be viewed as a set of prioritized, sequential components that are applied to reduce the potential impacts on BES. It involves a sequence of four key actions, which are (in the right sequence):

• Avoidance, minimization, restoration and offset

• Minimization, avoidance, restoration and offset

• Offset, restoration, minimization, avoidance

• Avoidance, minimization, offset and restoration

Appropriate monitoring indicators to track impacts should include measurements of :

I.State of project biodiversity

II.Project pressure (impacts)

III.Mitigation responses

IV.Business performance

• I and II

• I, II and III

• II and IV

• II, III & IV
