Achieving biodiversity net gain by addressing governance gaps underpinning ecological compensation policies

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 2, April 2024.
Abstract Biodiversity compensation policies have emerged around the world to address the ecological harms of infrastructure expansion, but historically compliance is weak. The Westminster government is introducing a requirement that new infrastructure developments in England demonstrate they achieve a biodiversity net gain (BNG). We sought to determine
