How does the CSBP Standard address land conversion?
The CSBP Standard promotes the conservation of native ecosystems by limiting land conversion activities to lands that do not support important conservation objectives. CSBP has developed a five-category approach to land classification, for the purposes of defining qualifying land conversion. CSBP is seeking comment on its approach, particularly related both to its ecological implications and to its likely utility and effectiveness. CSBP also will be conducting additional research, and soliciting feedback from scientists with expertise in conservation biology and related disciplines. CSBP will seek advice from GIS specialists, as well as other organizations that are developing standards to address land conversion, in order to ensure that its approach is adequately addressing the potential impacts on biodiversity resulting from the intensification of production practices, and whether or not it will be effective for achieving ecologically-sustainable biomass production activities over the
