Advisory GROUP

The BBOP International Advisory Group comprises experts from government departments, taxonomic, conservation, research and academic organizations world-wide as well as from companies in different sectors. These experts are drawn from disciplines that underpin biodiversity offsets, including: conservation methodologies and metrics; bioregional and landscape scale planning; systematics and biodiversity measurement and monitoring; risk, project and biodiversity management in business; and environmental economics. Many have already assisted in designing and implementing biodiversity offset projects and the associated public policy.

The Advisory Group provides technical support to the pilot projects and is contributing to a Methodology Toolkit on best practice for biodiversity offsets.
