The BioBanking Credit Calculator
The BioBanking Credit Calculator (the calculator) is a software program that applies the BioBanking Assessment Methodology and calculates the number and classes of credits required at a development site or created at a biobank site.
The assessment process is based on information collected at the site as well as information contained in the Vegetation Types Database, Vegetation Benchmarks Database and BioBanking Threatened Species Profile Database. This data is built into the calculator.
The data underpinning the calculator is reviewed and updated on a regular basis. Applications for biobanking agreements and biobanking statements will need to include a biodiversity credit calculation report using the current version of the calculator. These reports must be prepared by an Accredited BioBanking Assessor.
