Biodiversity Credits Mitigation Banking
Invest in Nature Restoration. Earn Returns from Verified Mitigation Credits.
Human development can place real pressure on ecosystems—wetlands, grasslands, riparian zones, and wildlife habitats. Where impacts are unavoidable, mitigation banking provides a structured way to balance development with conservation.
At MarillionEx, our Biodiversity Credits Mitigation Banking platform enables investors and project proponents to participate in verified conservation outcomes—backed by measurable ecological uplift and credit generation.
Understanding Biodiversity Credits
Watch our explainer video to learn how biodiversity credits and mitigation banking work.
What is Mitigation Banking?
Mitigation banking is a conservation approach designed to offset environmental impacts from activities such as land development, mining, infrastructure expansion, and industrial projects.
When natural habitat is disturbed, mitigation banking can generate conservation/mitigation credits by:
Restoring Degraded Ecosystems
Wetlands, rangelands, riparian buffers and more
Enhancing Habitat Quality
Improving biodiversity value across landscapes
Preserving Ecologically Significant Land
Long-term stewardship and protection
Organizations with biodiversity impacts can purchase or lease mitigation credits to help meet environmental requirements, strengthen compliance, and demonstrate responsible development—while funds are directed into conservation work that is managed, monitored, and maintained.
Why Biodiversity Matters
Biodiversity is the foundation of healthy ecosystems. It supports essential services such as:
Clean Air and Water
Pollination and Food System Resilience
Soil Fertility and Erosion Control
Climate Regulation and Ecosystem Stability
However, habitat loss, land conversion, pollution, and climate pressure continue to accelerate biodiversity decline. MarillionEx is committed to reversing this trend through projects that restore habitat, protect species, and strengthen ecological resilience—at scale.

Investing in Biodiversity and Mitigation Banking
MarillionEx offers an innovative model that enables conservation and restoration to be financed upfront, powered by the sale or lease of biodiversity and mitigation credits. By investing, you help fund ecological uplift and become part of a measurable, outcomes-driven conservation pathway.
Key Focus Areas

Student Exchange Programs
Conservation exposure and learning
These initiatives are designed to create a practical synergy between conservation, community development, and long-term ecosystem protection.
Investment Process for Mitigation Credits
Per-hectare model, with two credit-sale options
Choose the number of hectares you wish to invest in to generate mitigation credits. MarillionEx is already implementing a comprehensive conservation plan through activities such as regenerative wildlife practices, wetland restoration, habitat creation, and long-term stewardship, improving the ecological health of the land and supporting credit eligibility.
As an investor, you can choose:
Outright Sale
Participate in an outright sale of generated mitigation/biodiversity credits for a lump-sum return.
Renewable Leasing (Annual)
Lease generated credits to construction and mining companies on a renewable annual basis—creating a more consistent income stream over the lease term.
Verification, Certification, and Integrity
Third-Party Verification
Independent verification is essential. Reputable environmental organizations and/or national parks may verify ecological outcomes achieved.
Credit Generation & Certification
After verification, hectares generate certified mitigation credits tied to measured ecological benefit.
Ongoing Stewardship
Monitoring and management help ensure benefits persist and credit value is protected over time.
Biodiversity Offset and Mitigation Credits Investment Annual Returns
Biodiversity offsets only come into effect in Year 2 and are marketed/traded primarily on a lease basis, generating income over 20 years. The owner also has the option of an outright sale of the biodiversity offset.
Climate/CO₂ benefit assumption: CO₂ is calculated at 1.5 tons per hectare per year, using a conservative per-ton price reference from voluntary markets.
