conservation credits

Conservation credits are a way to measure and reward efforts to protect the environment, such as preserving forests, wetlands, or other natural areas. When a landowner or organization conserves a certain amount of land or implements sustainable practices, they generate these credits, which can then be sold or traded. Buyers—often companies needing to offset their environmental impact—purchase conservation credits to demonstrate environmental responsibility or meet regulations. Essentially, conservation credits create a marketplace that encourages and financially supports conservation efforts, promoting environmental sustainability while providing economic incentives for preservation.
