abstract={Rapid urbanization and the increasing demand for energy in Bangladesh have propelled grid-based power development projects, necessitating a comprehensive examination of their environmental impact on biodiversity. The Government of Bangladesh has taken the initiative to develop electrical transmission systems and substations development projects; a step-in power sector to achieve the vision of ¡®Smart Bangladesh¡¯. This study investigates the intricate interplay between environmental parameters and biodiversity specific to grid-based power development projects at several locations in Bangladesh. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the study integrates environmental monitoring to discern the potential ramifications on territorial ecology. All living beings¡¯ diversity depends on temperature rise, acid rain, sea level altitude, soil pollution, storms, water run-off, higher noise level, deforestation, and different pollutions that adversely impact project sites. Air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and ozone level can cause excess levels of acid in surface water and streams which impact soil as well as plants and forests. Noise pollution can affect animal behavior and even their physiology. Consequently, it results in increased infertility, higher mortality, and intensified migrations of different animal species. This paper quantifies air quality, surface water quality, noise level, soil quality at different urban, peri-urban, and rural areas for substation projects and the result shows that the project areas are safeguarded of biodiversity during the construction period of gird-based power development project.},
