Biodiversity Net Gain, while well-intentioned, is flawed in its implementation. In the short term, development projects that promise biodiversity gains often lead to significant habitat destruction, which can be devastating for local ecosystems. The promised restoration or compensation measures take years, if not decades, to become fully effective, and may never truly replace the intricate biodiversity lost. This delay in recovery threatens the survival of many species and risks permanent ecological damage that undermines long-term environmental sustainability.
