This paper examines the application of biodiversity offsets and banking to the conservation of Ramoua dam, a man-made dam with a dam, used for fish culture, surrounded by agricultural lands, and supported by a canal for a constant water supply. The study explores the potential of biodiversity banking as a tool for balancing development pressures from nearby urban and highway areas with the need to maintain and enhance the dam's biodiversity.
