This document discusses the challenges with implementing biodiversity offsets in Canada. It argues that offsets have stalled because objectives and thresholds for environmental impacts have not been clearly defined. The government needs to establish consistent policies across departments, provide the necessary infrastructure for an offsets market, and reduce uncertainties around liability. Specifically, the government should set clear plans and targets for habitat conservation to integrate land use decisions across scales and allow for the effective use of offsets.The Alberta Oilsands: Considerations for Offsetting
The Alberta Oilsands: Considerations for OffsettingInstitute of the Environment
油
This document discusses considerations for biodiversity offsets for the oilsands region of Alberta. It describes the landscape and ecosystem of the region as vast forests and wetlands with aspen and spruce trees. The nature of oilsands development involves large surface mines that disturb over 90% of the landscape. Implementing offsets faces issues around the objectives, scope of impacts to offset, timing, and lack of tools on private land. The author recommends focusing on the nature of disturbance rather than source, reducing linear disturbances, treating oilsands impacts as permanent requiring perpetual offsets, developing conservation on public land, and allowing banking and deferring an exchange.Wetlands: Biodiversity Offsets: Challenges and considerations

Victoria, Australia has implemented a biodiversity offsetting program since 1989 to regulate native vegetation clearing for development projects. Over time, the program has established policies, improved biodiversity mapping, developed metrics to quantify losses and gains, and established an offset market. Under current policy, developers must avoid and minimize native vegetation impacts, and any remaining impacts require offsets that achieve no net loss of biodiversity. Offsets are secured via long-term agreements that improve the quality and management of lands to increase habitat scores over time, ensuring offsets are permanent and additional to what would have occurred without the development. Recent revisions aim to streamline the process and increase flexibility while maintaining the goal of no net loss of biodiversity.Biodiversity Importance

Biodiversity offsets must consider the rarity and quality of the impacted species and habitats. Officials can stratify regulatory responses, like-for-like criteria, trading rules, and risk factors based on a site's biodiversity importance, which is a function of its rarity and quality. The criteria for what counts as "like-for-like" becomes more flexible depending on the biodiversity importance of the impacted site, ranging from requiring the same vegetation type in the same bioregion for very high importance sites, to allowing different but comparable types in the same or adjacent bioregions for medium importance sites.Offsetting Wetland Impacts in the United States: Policy Choices and Lessons L...

This document discusses biodiversity offsets, which allow development projects that result in biodiversity loss if they compensate by protecting or restoring habitat elsewhere. However, offsets are controversial as biodiversity gains may not match losses in quality, quantity, or permanence. For offsets to work, gains must be comparable, additional, lasting, and have sufficient information. Metrics, baselines, equivalence over time and space, uncertainty, reversibility, and thresholds must be considered. Canada currently lacks frameworks for best practice offsets. Offsets risk becoming business as usual unless integrated with clear biodiversity policies and plans that specify goals and address cumulative impacts with careful monitoring.Mining & Biodiversity Conservation Management
