This report aims to discuss the full spectrum of compensatory conservation activities undertaken by companies in the context of particular development projects. It covers not only biodiversity offsets that achieve net gain or no net loss of biodiversity, but also compensatory conservation measures, which provide some form of reparation for a project’s negative impacts on biodiversity but may not reach no net loss. Eleven projects from around the world (few of them covering protected areas) that involved some form of compensatory conservation were selected for description and analysis.
