In its first year, the Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) scheme has failed to deliver even half the of the Government’s minimum expected habitat creation, finds new @wclnews.bsky.social research.

A biodiversity credit market could help fund nature recovery, but there are also risks of relying on offsetting. New review with @ejmilnergulland.bsky.social 👇
