Abstract:	Biodiversity ofsetting has become a cornerstone of environmental policy since the 1990s, to counterbalance the habitat lost to a development project by conserving equivalent lands elsewhere. This Review describes how actors interpret, shape and contest ofsetting policies, placing emphasis on governance and politics rather than the most commonly explored technical design and implementation issues. It highlights the manifold discursive, legal, resource-driven and capacity-uilding strategies that stakeholders use to infuence ofsetting processes and outcomes. On this basis, we state future directions for social science research and policy-making.
