Setting the benchmark with Oyu Tolgoi, Mongolia: IFC PS6/EBRD PR6
In partnership with Fauna & Flora International (FFI) and local partners, TBC helped the Oyu Tolgoi project in Mongolia towards meeting the requirements of International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standard 6/European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) Performance Requirement 6. This resulted in the first publicly available complete PS6 documentation, which has set a benchmark for other large infrastructure projects. The documentation, available in biodiversity appendices to the environmental social impact assessment, includes a Critical Habitat assessment, Net Positive Impact forecast, detailed impact and mitigation plan, and biodiversity offset strategy, and resulted in IFC and EBRD approving funding for the project.

Wildlife Conservation Society: Review of the Taninthayi Nature Reserve Project.
Payments from three gas pipeline operators have led to the creation and on-going management of a protected area in southern Myanmar. TBC reviewed this project to evaluate its potential as a model for mitigating the impacts of industrial development on biodiversity, and for providing sustainable financing for protected area management. The report presents an analysis of the project against IFC PS6 and the BBOP standard to highlight strengths and weaknesses of the approach and to identify recommendations for policy development.

IUCN: Technical group to advise on a biodiversity offset policy
International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is developing a policy on biodiversity offsets, which will provide advice to its Members. TBC was asked by IUCN to prepare an input paper for, and co-chair, a technical group which is advising on development of this policy. The input paper reviews the technical conditions necessary for positive outcomes for biodiversity offsets, building on our biodiversity offsets report for the IUCN World Congress. The technical group has produced a report which will inform a policy group within IUCN.

Government of New Zealand: Biodiversity offset policy development
At the request of the Government of New Zealand, TBC developed a global framework which establishes the burden of proof necessary to evaluate ‘offsetability’, given varying levels of: conservation concern; residual impact magnitude; offset opportunity; and feasibility of offset implementation. This work has now been published in the prestigious journal, Conservation Letters.

Rio Tinto Simandou, Guinea: Pic de Fon Forêt Classée
TBC led the development of the community-based management plan for the Pic de Fon forêt classée, a protected area in Guinea. The work was initiated by Rio Tinto to find a stakeholder-based solution to balance iron ore mining, chimpanzee conservation and local community forest use within the same forest. The result was a new law passed by the Minister of Environment of Guinea in 2010. The plan is a model for effective collaboration between government, the private sector and local communities.
