El mercado de biodiversidad: un espejismo

This report by Friends of the Earth International critiques biodiversity offsets and biodiversity certificates (credits), arguing that these market-based mechanisms serve as false solutions that normalize the destruction of nature and undermine the rights of Indigenous Peoples.

• The report argues that biodiversity offsets and biodiversity certificates are part of a broader trend of assigning financial value to nature, which obscures the necessary actions of stopping ecosystem destruction and protecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples.
• Biodiversity offsets and certificates are characterized as neoliberal economic tools that promote the idea that nature loss in one specific area can be compensated for in another location, which the authors describe as a false solution.
