This project addresses the profound challenge of reconciling development and biodiversity conservation by developing an alternative to the pervasive, yet unsuccessful, biodiversity offsetting approach. It will generate new knowledge in the areas of novel ecosystem function, land use optimisation and conservation attitudes. Key project outcomes will be a new framework for biodiversity onsetting, tested against environmental and social feasibility metrics, and new biodiversity evaluation methods for novel habitats. The project will provide environmental and economic benefits by reversing the ongoing decline in biodiversity from habitat loss and driving innovation in environmentally destructive industries that are vulnerable to climate change.

该项目通过开发一种替代普遍但不成功的生物多样性抵消方法，应对协调发展与生物多样性保护之间关系的深刻挑战。它将在新的生态系统功能，土地利用优化和保护态度等领域产生新的知识。主要项目成果将是一个新的生物多样性启动框架，根据环境和社会可行性指标进行测试，以及新的栖息地生物多样性评估方法。该项目将提供环境和经济效益，扭转因栖息地丧失而导致的生物多样性持续下降的趋势，并推动易受气候变化影响的环境破坏性行业的创新。
