  • Performance of habitat offsets for species conservation in dynamic human‐modified landscapes

    Open AccessJonathan R Rhodes, Yan Liu et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2024

    Biodiversity offsets are a popular policy tool for mitigating the impact of development on biodiversity, but the ecological success of offsets arise from complex interactions among socio‐economic, ecological and policy processes, making outcomes challenging to assess. Many offset policies use habitat surrogates to determine offset requirements, rather than using direct measures of impacted biota, and this can lead to poor outcomes for species. On…

  • Redistribution of fishery benefits among commercial and recreational fishers caused by offsetting

    Open AccessDeqiang Ma, Jonathan R Rhodes et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2023

    Biodiversity offsetting is widely used to offset negative impacts of development on biodiversity. However, offsets can affect the distribution of benefits among beneficiaries, due to the redistribution of ecosystem services caused by impacts and offsets. Here, we compared the distribution of fishery economic benefits and losses to commercial and recreational fishers under two different offset policy rules: offset locations in close proximity to i…

  • Credible biodiversity offsetting needs public national registers to confirm no net loss

    Open AccessHeini Kujala, Monika Maron et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2022

    In the face of the ongoing biodiversity crisis, questions are arising regarding the success, or lack thereof, of biodiversity offset schemes, where biodiversity losses from human development are compensated by producing equitable gains elsewhere. The overarching goal of offsetting is to deliver no net loss (NNL) of biodiversity. Assessing whether offsetting does indeed deliver NNL is, however, challenging because of a lack of clear and reliable i…

  • Creating past habitat maps to quantify local extirpation of Australian threatened birds

    Open AccessMichelle Ward, James E M Watson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Habitat loss is driving the extirpation of fauna across Earth. Many species are now absent from vast areas where they once occurred in inhabited continents, yet we do not have a good understanding of the extent to which different species have been locally extirpated, nor the degree to which range contractions and habitat loss has contributed to this local extirpation. Here, for the first time, we use a combination of scientific literature, histor…

  • Connecting governance interventions to ecosystem services provision

    Open AccessJean Paul Metzger, Pedro Fidelman et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2021

    The fulfilment of the benefits resulting from services provided by nature requires an integrated framework that combines appropriate ecosystem service governance with spatially explicit models of service provision. Here, we propose using a social‐ecological network approach to develop a ‘landscape governance framework’ that identifies how different types of governance can act on supply, demand and flow of ecosystem services through changes in lan…

  • Area-based conservation in the twenty-first century

    Open AccessSean Maxwell, Sean L Maxwell et al.ARTICLENature2020

    Humanity will soon define a new era for nature-one that seeks to transform decades of underwhelming responses to the global biodiversity crisis. Area-based conservation efforts, which include both protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, are likely to extend and diversify. However, persistent shortfalls in ecological representation and management effectiveness diminish the potential role of area-based conservation in …

  • Offsetting impacts of development on biodiversity and ecosystem services

    Open AccessLaura J Sonter, Ascelin Gordon et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2020Cited by: 3References: 49

    Offsetting-trading losses in one place for commensurate gains in another-is a tool used to mitigate environmental impacts of development. Biodiversity and carbon are the most widely used targets of offsets; however, other ecosystem services are increasingly traded, introducing new risks to the environment and people. Here, we provide guidance on how to "trade with minimal trade-offs"- i.e. how to offset impacts on biodiversity without negatively …

    Open AccessAnnette Cowie, Annette L Cowie et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2017Cited by: 25

    The health and productivity of global land resources are declining, while demand for those resources is increasing. The aim of land degradation neutrality (LDN) is to maintain or enhance land-based natural capital and its associated ecosystem services. The Scientific Conceptual Framework for Land Degradation Neutrality has been developed to provide a scientific approach to planning, implementing and monitoring LDN. The Science-Policy Interface of…

  • Taming a Wicked Problem

    Monika Maron, Martine Maron et al.ARTICLEBioScience2016

    The rising popularity of biodiversity offsetting as a tool for balancing biodiversity losses from development with equivalent gains elsewhere has sparked debate on many fronts. The fundamental questions are the following: Is offsetting good, bad, or at least better than the status quo for biodiversity conservation outcomes, and what do we need to know to decide? We present a concise synthesis of the most contentious issues related to biodiversity…

    In the last few months the role of several important writers and one of the leftist intellectuals in East and West has become a major topic for our most important literary supplements, and I find myself on the side of those with whom, until now, I did not understand myself to be making common cause. To put it another way: I do not share the opinion of people whom I have previously considered to be my allies. I would rather see myself as sharing t…
