Ecological Impact Assessment in Business Operations: A Framework Combining Zoological Insights and AI Algorithms

Abstract

In response to the expanding industrial footprint in environmentally delicate regions, there arises a critical demand for holistic frameworks that assess and mitigate the ecological impact of business operations. This research introduces an innovative methodology that combines classical zoological insights with advanced artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to comprehensively analyze and address the environmental ramifications of industrial activities. Conducted in a hypothetical locale, the study centers on the identification of pivotal species, mapping of ecological hotspots, and forecasting biodiversity shifts. Findings reveal the susceptibility of specific species, such as the Red-crowned Crane and Amur Tiger, while uncovering distinct ecological hotspots marked by habitat disruption, pollution dispersion, and noise impact. Predictive models delineate taxonomic disparities in biodiversity alterations, underscoring the imperative for precisely targeted conservation initiatives. Proposed mitigation strategies, tailored to recognized hotspots, advocate for habitat restoration, pollution management, and operational adjustments. The amalgamation of zoological insights and AI not only enriches the depth of ecological comprehension but also furnishes pragmatic solutions for businesses to curtail their environmental impact. This research adds to the ongoing discourse on sustainable business practices, advocating for a symbiotic equilibrium between economic progress and environmental preservation. Acknowledging constraints and suggesting paths for future investigation, the paper lays the groundwork for a transformative approach to corporate environmental responsibility, encouraging proactive engagement in sustainable practices for the preservation of ecosystems and global biodiversity.
