Özet: Environmental impact assessment (EIA) reports, which take nature factor into consideration and tries to help thiscontinuance, became important in Turkey but also became important in the world. Strategic Environmental Assessment(SEA) is a more advanced step than EIA and it is applied at macro-level. For plans and programs, SEA is begun to beapplied in many places on the world. In most of analyzed EIA reports, economical opportunities are more importantthan biodiversity. According to this topic, one of the most important example is Cyadine Disaster, which took place inRomania, of which EIA report is prepared 3 years after the accident. Oil and gas pipeline in Russia at Sakhalin regionis another event analyzed in term of biodiversity approach and EIA. During the project phase, according to EIA report,to minimize the negative impacts on the Western Grey Whale some alterations have been made. In Turkey it is alsopossible to see some negative and positive events about EIA. Another example is, Gold mining research activities at KazMountains, which are followed by the press, environmental organizations and local communities, is an actual example.Biodiversity and Natural Source Management Project applied in İğneada however, earned its right success.In this study, with analyzed EIA reports and projects, Turkey and other countries are compared in terms of EIA,biodiversity and economics. In recent years economical development has become, unfortunately, more importantthan biodiversity and this is originating point of this study. Coinciding with successful examples and increasing ofenvironmental consciousness are hopeful improvements in term of protecting biodiversity and natural sources. It ispredicted that biological richness, of which continuance will be provided by EIA’s which were done and will be donein Turkey, will be possible with serious controls and dissuasive punishments. Henceforth ecological sanctions must bemore important than economic sanctions.
