WHAT THE EVIDENCE SAYS

One conceptual paper also deserves a bookmark rather than a conclusion. Researchers in Australia propose adding a “nature-positive” pathway to conventional Environmental Impact Assessment so development processes identify opportunities for measurable biodiversity gains rather than only minimizing losses.

WHY IT MATTERS / OUR READ

Treat it as a provocative framework, not evidence that the approach works.

CAVEATS / UNCERTAINTY

The paper uses hypothetical cases and collected no empirical data.
