Plate 1 Field based studies and secondary sources provide useful information for EIA studies.

Plate 2 The proposed pipeline would traverse (a) Dhojri and (b) Chandpur Reserved Forests for the longest distance.

Plate 3 Forest area under Kalpi and Alampur Reserved Forests would also be traversed by proposed pipeline.

Plate 4 River (a) Sengar and (b) Rind are other important wetland habitats en route the proposed pipeline.

Plate 5 Livestock presence is the major cause of deterioration of wildlife habitats en route the pipeline.

Plate 6 Stone quarrying and railway line are other sources of disturbance to wildlife in terrestrial habitats.

Plate 7 River (a) Betwa and (b) Yamuna are major rivers en route the pipeline that have high faunal diversity.
