Abstract: In recent years, biodiversity offsetting has been adopted as a conservation strategy in many different countries. Biodiversity offsets are mechanisms used to compensate for ecological impacts resulting from development projects, especially those on non-built land uses. They usually rely on an equivalence principle based on achieving strict equality between the area that is developed and that which is offset. This approach still remains very controversial.
