The Biodiversity Offset Programme

The Biodiversity Offset Programme is an environmental initiative aimed at balancing the impact of development projects on natural habitats. When a company or project harms an ecosystem, this programme allows them to compensate by protecting or restoring another area of similar ecological value. Essentially, it helps ensure that, overall, biodiversity is maintained or even enhanced, despite some losses due to development. The goal is to achieve a net positive impact on the environment, supporting conservation efforts while enabling necessary growth and infrastructure development.
