Monitoring report

Summary of results during the monitoring period

The biodiversity credit calculation is automated and produces a report from observational data.

The monitoring period and reports can be as frequently as 1 year, and as infrequently as 5 years and must include:

• Changes in Baseline assessment if applicable
• Adaptive changes in Implementation plan
• Any changes in project boundaries (such as scaling from a Grouped project) with .kml format
• Any changes in Stakeholders, or project governance
• Secure upload of raw project data for indicator species observations
• Comparison report of Crediting area vs Leakage management area in hectares for current vs prior years of project implementation (Project areas)
• Ideally publically-validated indicator species observations (i.e. iNaturalist)

The BCP shall include, in the monitoring report, a short qualitative summary of the activities carried out during each verification period and their effectiveness in terms of biodiversity conservation.
