We are witnessing an alarming, global biodiversity crisis with an
ongoing loss of species and their habitats. In response, a number
of tools and approaches - including some that are contested - are
being explored and promoted. Biodiversity offsets are one such
approach, and deserve critical examination since the debate
surrounding them has often been oversimplified and lacking
practical evidence. As such, this study presents a refined typology
including seven types of biodiversity offsets and taking into
account different contexts, governance arrangements and drivers. It
draws on a detailed analysis of theoretical concepts to explain the
voluntary implementation of biodiversity offsets using an
internet-based (netnographic) research approach. Furthermore it
builds on a broad global explorative base of 72 practical examples
and presents in-depth case studies for each type. The results
reveal a number of global tendencies that allow recommendations to
be made for different locations, contexts and stakeholders. They
also encourage the expansion of this research field to respond to
the pressing needs of policy and practice.
