The Biodiversity Offset Program

The Biodiversity Offset Program is a conservation strategy where developers restore or protect natural habitats to compensate for environmental impacts caused by their projects. If building or mining harms local ecosystems, they create or fund efforts elsewhere to ensure that overall biodiversity remains stable or improves. This approach aims to balance development with environmental responsibility, ensuring that progress doesn’t come at the expense of nature. It promotes sustainable growth by making sure natural habitats are maintained or enhanced, even when some areas are affected by human activities.
