Habitat banking - what are the benefits for Arun residents?

Habitat banking is a system where land is enhanced for wildlife, generating biodiversity credits that developers can buy to help ensure new developments leave nature better off than before.

Think of it like a nature savings account.

Investment is directed towards creating and enhancing Habitat Banks across the Arun district.

By restoring them locally, habitat banking can support nature recovery, strengthen biodiversity, improve green spaces and contribute to healthier, more resilient environments for both wildlife and residents. Sites are managed and monitored over the long term, helping to ensure these benefits are maintained for future generations.
