Task complete
Case 1 A project claims to restore biodiversity by “enhancing ecosystem services,” but doesn’t define specific indicators or provide data.
What went wrong
Case 2 A conservation NGO applies for credits to generate income for a forest already covered by a well enforced no-logging law for over a decade. No new actions or interventions are planned.
What went wrong
Case 3 A coral restoration project succeeds in regrowing reef structure but lacks long-term financial or community safeguards.
What went wrong
Case 4 A project develops biodiversity credits on Indigenous land without prior consultation, despite local reliance on the land.
What went wrong
Case 5 A credit scheme applies the same indicators across vastly different ecosystems — from mangroves to grasslands.
