Implementation Gap between the Theory and Practice of Biodiversity Offset Multipliers
Emerging policies worldwide require biodiversity gains as compensation for losses associated with economic development, seeking to achieve „no net loss‟ (NNL). Multipliers – factors by which gains are larger than associated losses – can be crucial for true NNL. Here, we review the theoretical literature on multipliers. Then, we collate data on multipliers implemented in practice, representing t...

The memo can be used as a guide for detailed study of the source ...
متن کاملAssessing the impacts of biodiversity offset policies
In response to the increasing loss of native vegetation and biodiversity, a growing number of countries have adopted “offsetting” policies that seek to balance local habitat destruction by restoring, enhancing and/or protecting similar but separate habitat. Although these policies often have a stated aim of producing a “net gain” or “no net loss” in environmental benefits, it is challenging to ...
متن کاملGreat Apes and Biodiversity Offset Projects in Africa: The Case for National Offset Strategies
The development and private sectors are increasingly considering "biodiversity offsets" as a strategy to compensate for their negative impacts on biodiversity, including impacts on great apes and their habitats in Africa. In the absence of national offset policies in sub-Saharan Africa, offset design and implementation are guided by company internal standards, lending bank standards or internat...
