habitat credit trading

Habitat credit trading is a system where organizations that restore or protect natural habitats earn "credits" based on the ecological benefits they provide, such as increased wildlife or improved ecosystems. These credits can then be bought by other entities—like developers or companies—that need to compensate for environmental impacts caused by their projects. Essentially, it creates a marketplace that encourages conservation by making it financially worthwhile to preserve or enhance habitats, balancing economic development with ecological sustainability.
