Biodiversity Offset
Compensation mechanisms for the loss of biodiversity due to development activities. The principle is to avoid negative impacts on biodiversity from the outset (avoid), minimize unavoidable impacts (minimize), restore degraded habitats (rehabilitate), and as a last resort, provide compensation elsewhere (offset). The goal is to achieve “no net loss” or even “net gain” for biodiversity.
Basic Principle
CFES helps companies address the negative impacts of development projects on biodiversity. CFES assists companies in identifying impacts, planning offset strategies (such as habitat restoration or species relocation), implementing field programs, and monitoring their effectiveness so that development can proceed in harmony with environmental conservation.
