  abstract = {{I}n this article we examine the institutional strategies and methods of biodiversity offset calculation employed by two mining companies in {M}adagascar. {M}uch like the {REDD}+ mechanisms, these environmental projects are based on estimations of the past and predictions of the future, and require validation by international experts. {T}hey incorporate a set of standard indicators adapted to the affected habitats, and specially developed units of measurement to demonstrate ecological equivalence. {T}he complex and diverse mitigation portfolios of these companies include aspects of both in-kind and financial compensation, and allow the combination of different types of programs that may be developed directly by the company or delegated to conservation non-governmental organizations ({NGO}s).},
