Abstract
- The authors state that governments should not use compensation that developers pay for damaging biodiversity to meet existing environmental conservation targets such as those under the Convention on Biological Diversity. They comment on biodiversity offsetting schemes which usually try to achieve no net loss of biodiversity and mention the schemes don't always end biodiversity loss but may instead offset existing losses. They suggest offset-funded protected areas should be tallied separately.
