The purchasing of 'biodiversity units' as a way of 'off-setting' will never improve biodiversity.

Supporting the existing biodiversity, safeguarding and supporting areas of higher biodiversity already in existence, is crucial. Research shows that developers are not implementing the ecological and biodiversity enhancements they originally claim to. This is a huge systematic issue and regulatory failure. In over 50% of cases the 'net gain' exists only on paper and not in practice. Article reference: https://wildjustice.org.uk/general/lost-nature-report/
