The global Critical Habitat screening layer Version 2.0 has been developed since IFC have revised its guidance for determining Critical Habitat and global-scale biodiversity data have been updated and improved.
The global Critical Habitat screening layer Version 1.0 was developed to assess the likelihood of sites or operations being located within PS6-defined Critical Habitat in the early project scoping phases. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The International Finance Corporation’s (IFC’s) Performance Standard 6 (PS6) is one of the most influential biodiversity standards of current time, particularly within large-scale infrastructure and the extractive sector.Within PS6, biodiversity significance is articulated through the concept of “Critical Habitat,” a definition developed by the IFC and detailed through criteria aligned with those that support internationally accepted biodiversity designations. Critical Habitat criteria identify habitats of significant importance to threatened, endemic, congregatory and migratory species, threatened or unique ecosystems, and key evolutionary processes. PS6 requires projects to achieve net gains in the biodiversity values for which Critical Habitat is identified.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
