4. “Without Project” Conservation Status

In order to properly design and implement a landscape approach to conservation, including the quantification of the cumulative impacts of a project and the net benefits of mitigation actions, it is necessary to begin with a thorough understanding of the conservation status of biodiversity features in the “without-project” scenario. This scenario serves as starting point for the “with project” risk assessment in the next stage, providing ***the counterfactual*** against which the impacts and benefits of the project will be measured.
