La no pérdida neta de biodiversidad: una falsa solución y más destrucción

The report critiques the 'no net loss' (NPN) biodiversity framework, characterizing it as a corporate tool for greenwashing that allows the destruction of ecosystems through flawed compensation mechanisms. It asserts that ecosystems are qualitatively unique and cannot be quantified or traded, and calls for the exclusion of NPN from the new Global Biodiversity Framework to facilitate a genuine systemic change.

• The 'no net loss' (NPN) approach relies on compensation mechanisms where corporations destroy one ecosystem for infrastructure or mining and claim to offset this by protecting or restoring another, which the document describes as a form of greenwashing.
• The principle of NPN is fundamentally flawed because ecosystems possess unique qualities and spiritual or cultural meanings that make quantitative or qualitative comparison impossible, and the economic quantification of nature serves corporate profit over people and the environment.
• The NPN framework artificially separates humans from nature and perpetuates land grabbing; therefore, it should not be included in the new Global Biodiversity Framework.
