This webinar will explore the use of a GIS tool to digitally manage Biodiversity Net Gain calculations. In addition to the calculations themselves, the tool can be used to analyse individual parcels of land as well as how it contributes to the bigger picture of the project and the calculations. This supports better decision-making around vegetation clearance, habitat enhancements, and habitat creation and supports the use of a systems thinking approach at the project level.
