The international Business and Biodiversity Offsets Programme (BBOP) has released a Standard on Biodiversity Offsets.

The Standard aims to assist governments, developers, financial institutions, conservation groups and communities to assess biodiversity offsets against the BBOP principles, criteria and indicators.  The Standard will be an important tool in the design and assessment of biodiversity offsets, and is particularly relevant given the current proposed National Policy Statement on Indigenous Biodiversity.  Further guidance information is expected to be released shortly.

The full Standard can be found here.
