| description |
Biodiversity represents the variety of
life on Earth, including the full range of ecosystems,
species, and genes. Biodiversity conservation efforts to
date have achieved a great deal to help secure the continued
functioning of many threatened ecosystems and the survival
of numerous species. Biodiversity offsets can: (i) improve
the conservation outcomes from large-scale development
projects, and (ii) provide much-needed funding for protected
areas and similar conservation efforts. This user guide
provides introductory guidance on whether, when, and how to
prepare and implement biodiversity offsets for large-scale,
private, and public sector development projects. It also
explores some of the opportunities that may exist for
developing national biodiversity offset systems. |
