Compensation for development-related biodiversity loss in Germany has been required since the 1970s, making it one of the longest running offsets programmes in the world. Compensation measures were originally carried out by the developing firm itself and were required to maintain strong links between the biodiversity lost through the development project and the compensation. The reforms relaxed the requirements regarding spatial, temporal and functional coherence with the objective of improving biodiversity outcomes and streamlining the compensation process. This chapter reviews the progression of German Impact Mitigation Regulations and summarises the design and implementation features of the programme.
