Since the biodiversity law in 2016, biological offsetting, which is traduced by consulting firms, is an adaptation of performance logic induced by New Public Management. Biodiversity offsets are determined by consulting firms. It is based on quantification and substitutability of biodiversity, which contributes to reduce complexity of interdependencies between natural environment and social environment in order to respond to NPM goals of efficiency and results. It aims at promote economical value of biodiversity at the expense of ecosystemic value. In a context of biodiversity crisis, we should emphasize the shifting between biodiversity offsetting tool (in order to contain biodiversity crisis) and their irreversible ecological consequences.
