  abstract = {{T}his article analyzes the international development of voluntary biodiversity off sets, a conservation instrument that permits developers to pursue their activities if conservation actions are undertaken elsewhere to compensate for the environmental impacts of their projects. {L}argely undertaken by extractive industries that operate in the global {S}outh where no off setting regulations exist, this tool is currently attracting growing interest from policy makers, private companies, fi nancial institutions, and conservation experts. {B}uilding upon the concept of market framing developed by {C}allon (1998), {I} explore in what contexts and through what processes this idea has gathered momentum, as well as the disturbing gap between the way it has been framed and its practical implementation. {I}t is suggested that once immersed in the outside world, the market framing of off sets appears as a fragile result dependent upon substantial investments, which casts serious doubts about off sets' ability to reduce biodiversity loss on technical, governance, and social grounds.},
