“Conservation actions intended to compensate for the residual, unavoidable harm to biodiversity caused by development projects, so as to ensure no net loss of biodiversity.
Before developers contemplate offsets, they should have first sought to avoid and minimise harm to biodiversity.”
Insight & IUCN, 2004
What are biodiversity offsets?BBOP

Vision for the Program
All future major development projects
(in the private and public sectors alike),
and certainly those which will have a significant impact on biodiversity,
should ensure that they bring about no net loss
(and preferably a net gain) in biodiversity.

– Focus conservation efforts on priorities, in context of landscape/regional planning.• a representative sample of all biodiversity pattern (representation)• ecological processes (persistence)• Critical natural capital values

• The ability to undertake projects that might not otherwise be possible
• Better relationships with local communities, government regulators, environmental groups and other important stakeholders
• An enhanced reputation and therefore “social license to operate”
• Increased “regulatory goodwill” which could lead to faster permitting
• Easier access to capital and associated competitive advantages
• A practical tool for managing social and environmental risks and liabilities
• The possibility of influencing emerging environmental regulation and policy
• Reduced costs of compliance with environmental regulations
• “First mover” advantage for innovative companies
• Strategic opportunities in the new markets and businesses that emerge as biodiversity offsets become more widespread
Why should business offset the harm it causes to biodiversity ?

Business & Biodiversity Offsets Program
Objectives
PILOT PROJECTS: Portfolio of pilot projects worldwide demonstrating “no net loss” of biodiversity and livelihood benefits
TOOLKIT: Develop and test in the pilots “How to” toolkit on biodiversity offset design and implementation
POLICY: Influence policy and corporate developments on biodiversity offsets so they meet conservation and business objectives.

A portfolio of pilot projects
Diversity of projects. Different:
– sectors (oil & gas; mining; tourism; construction; agriculture)
– scales ($6bn and area the size of Manhattan to US $1m and 15 ha)
– policy environments (mandatory to voluntary)
– ecosystems (tropical forest, desert, marine)
– countries (Middle East, Mexico, Ghana, Uganda, Brazil, Australia, South Africa)
– stakeholders (companies, local & central govt,
& experts local & intl NGOs, local communities)

What is a pilot project?
• New projects in the field
• Objective: demonstrate no net loss (or net gain) of biodiversity
• How? – Work with the company/developer, its stakeholders and
experts
– Calculate the biodiversity impact of the project.
– Design and support implementation of a biodiversity offset - in situ conservation project.

Quantify impact, then plan conservation :
– Conserve representative sample of biodiversity
– Persistence of ecological processes
– Targets: How much needed for a living landscape? (e.g. area)
– Link development projects to achieving priority conservation outcomes?

A pilot project in Mongolia would be great.
