While water conservancy project construction promotes economic development and social progress, it has a complex impact on local biodiversity. The construction of reservoirs, the diversion of rivers, etc., have changed the natural hydrological conditions, affecting the animals and plants that rely on these environments for survival. The human activities during the project construction process have also interfered with the ecosystem. This paper explores the main ways in which water conservancy projects impact biodiversity and proposes corresponding protection countermeasures, including but not limited to the establishment of an ecological compensation mechanism, the restoration of habitats, and the implementation of species protection measures. Through scientific planning and management, the negative impacts of water conservancy projects on biodiversity can be effectively reduced.
