Nature Repair (Biodiversity Assessment) Instrument 2025.

This instrument lays down the requirements relating to methodology determinations in the assessment of biodiversity projects. Methodology determinations must not prevent Indigenous engagement; must not require sharing of Indigenous knowledge, values or data without appropriate consent; project proponents of projects subject to Indigenous land interests must engage appropriately with relevant Indigenous representatives; must contain climate change considerations; must respect certain parameters and processes in measuring biodiversity such as starting state assessment of the project area, specifying or establishing counterfactual scenarios, identifying fixed biodiversity project characteristics, etc.
