Three ways to deliver a net positive impact with biodiversity offsets

Abstract: Biodiversity offsetting is the practice of using conservation actions, such as habitat restoration, management, or protection, to compensate for ecological losses caused by development activity, including construction projects. The typical goal of offsetting is no net loss (NNL), which means that all ecological losses are compensated for by commensurate offset gains. We focused on a conceptual and methodological exploration of net positive impact (NPI), an ambitious goal that implies commitment beyond NNL and … Show more

“…These researchers often discuss the NNL goal, respective metrics, and quantification methods to calculate gains and losses cf. [4,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. The methods used to assess losses and gains should combine spatial, ecological, temporal, and uncertainty considerations [24].…”

“…The question of 'how much' gain should be provided for a given loss is the subject of an increasing literature (Bull & Brownlie 2017;Weissgerber al. 2019;Moilanen & Kotiaho 2020;Simmonds al. 2020;Simpson al.…”

“…Toimivan ekologisen kompensaatiojärjestelmän toteuttaminen vaatii huolellista suunnittelua ja noin viiteentoista kysymykseen vastaamista. Nämä kysymykset jäsentävät kompensaatiot tavoitteiden, tilan, ajan, luonnon monimuotoisuuden ja toimenpiteiden suhteen ja mahdollistavat uskottavan ekologisen kompensaation toteuttamisen 11,12,13,14 .…”
