Biodiversity Net Gain
Biodiversity Net Gain is a conservation approach aimed at improving the natural environment. It requires developers and landowners to ensure that any new construction or land use not only avoids harming wildlife but actively enhances it. This means that for every negative impact, there must be a positive offset that increases biodiversity, such as creating new habitats or restoring ecosystems. The goal is to leave the natural world in a better condition than before, supporting a healthier balance of plants, animals, and ecosystems for future generations.

Biodiversity net gain is an approach aimed at ensuring that development projects result in a positive impact on the natural environment, particularly in terms of wildlife and ecosystems. It involves assessing the current biodiversity of an area before any development takes place and then ensuring that, after the project is completed, the overall biodiversity is greater than it was initially. This can be achieved through habitat restoration, conservation efforts, or creating new green spaces. The goal is to not only minimize harm to nature but actively improve it, supporting sustainable development.
