I do not agree with this policy because purchasing biodiversity units as a form of “offsetting” does nothing to improve real biodiversity. Protecting and enhancing existing ecosystems is far more effective than relying on theoretical compensation. Research shows that developers often fail to implement the ecological enhancements they promise, making “net gain” an empty commitment in over 50% of cases. This is a systemic issue and a regulatory failure. Instead of allowing biodiversity loss on paper, we must safeguard and support areas of high ecological value already in existence.
