The Elephant Rest Lodge project, as proposed, is situated within a sensitive conservation area, the Sorris-Sorris Conservancy. Such developments have the potential to significantly impact the environment, including: The Elephant Rest Lodge, a proposed 10-room canvas lodge and 10-campsite facility in the Sorris-Sorris Conservancy, requires an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) before construction and operation. The ECC is necessary to ensure that the project complies with environmental regulations and mitigates any potential negative impacts on the sensitive conservation area. Given the lodge's proposed solar-powered operation and its location within a protected area, it is crucial to obtain the ECC to demonstrate the project's commitment to sustainability and responsible tourism.
