In the Western Cape province of South Africa, receiving areas for biodiversity offsets have been defined based on regional or local conservation priorities as determined through a process of biodiversity mapping and threat assessment (Brownlie and Botha, 2009, Treweek et al., Elsewhere, strategic environment assessments and Development by Design approaches have sought to identify conservation priorities within a landscape in advance of development impacts occurring so that offsets may be designed and located in recognition of the cumulative impacts of planned development activities on biodiversity, these issues are discussed further in Chapter 2. If a biobank has greater reach in terms of the possible developments it can service, it may make the project more economically viable and may allow it to be placed in regions where landscape-level biodiversity outcomes are more optimal (Wissel and Watzold, 2010).
