No Net Loss of Biodiversity

No Net Loss of Biodiversity means ensuring that when development or activities change the land, they do not reduce the variety and health of species living there. If some habitats are damaged or lost, efforts are made to restore or create new habitats elsewhere, so the overall biodiversity remains the same. It’s about balancing progress with ecological preservation, preventing the overall loss of plant and animal life, and maintaining the natural richness of ecosystems for future generations. This approach aims for zero net decrease in biodiversity despite ongoing land use changes.
