  1. ‘Can offsetting really compensate for biodiversity loss?’ • Developers could be allowed to destroy ancient woodland if they agree to plant 100 trees for each one felled, Owen Paterson the Environment Secretary has said. • He also said that ‘biodiversity offsetting’ could apply to 400-year-old woodland. • Under the scheme, the destruction of a wildlife habitat is balanced by funding for environmental improvements in other locations.
