Abstract
This research endeavours to assess the socio-economic ramifications resulting from the adverse effects of projects and operational activities on the ecosystem and biodiversity in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. Through a multidimensional analysis encompassing socio-economic surveys, community engagements, and ecological assessments, this study aims to unravel the intricate dynamics between development initiatives and their impacts on local livelihoods, health, and overall well-being. The findings of this research are anticipated to provide valuable insights for policy-makers, urban planners, and environmentalists, fostering a more comprehensive understanding of the interconnectedness between economic growth, environmental conservation, and community welfare.
