Summary For small and medium projects the larger plot size leads to biodiversity integration on the ground as well as on the horizontal surface hence the exponential increase.

For the large projects the same plot size has larger biodiversity, that might because of driver prioritization in individual projects.

Summary • In small and medium parcels biodiversity is integrated vertically. • In large parcels it is dependent on the system prioritization.

BIODIVERSITY CERTIFICATION PRINCIPLE To integrate planning for biodiversity conservation with planning for proposed intensification of land use. Part of the Australia's Biodiversity Conservation Strategy 2010-2030
High Biodiversity Value •

CASE STUDY 1 | AUSTRALIA BIOBANKING Provides new opportunities for conservation on privately-owned land Measured through: • Ecosystem Credit • Species Credit
Endangered Ecological Communities, and ‘overcleared vegetation types’ The verified locations of some threatened species State and Regional Corridors, Vegetation along rivers and creeks.
