The mitigation hierarchy (MH) is a prominent tool to help businesses achieve no net loss or net gain outcomes for biodiversity. Technological innovations offer benefits for business biodiversity management, yet the range and continued evolution of technologies creates a complex landscape that can be difficult to navigate. Using literature review, online surveys, and semi-structured interviews, we assess technologies that can improve application of the MH. We identify six categories (mobile survey, fixed survey, remote sensing, blockchain, data analysis, and enabling technologies) with high feasibility and/or relevance to (i) aid direct implementation of mitigation measures and (ii) enhance biodiversity surveys and monitoring, which feed into the design of interventions including avoidance and minimization measures. At the interface between development and biodiversity impacts, opportunities lie in businesses investing in technologies, capitalizing on synergies between technology groups, collaborating with conservation organizations to enhance institutional capacity, and developing practical solutions suited for widespread use.

利用技术改进对发展对生物多样性影响的管理

缓解等级 (MH) 是帮助企业实现生物多样性无净损失或净收益结果的重要工具。技术创新为商业生物多样性管理带来好处，但技术的范围和持续发展创造了一个难以驾驭的复杂景观。通过文献综述、在线调查和半结构化访谈，我们评估了可以改进 MH 应用的技术。我们确定了六类（移动调查、固定调查、遥感、区块链、数据分析和支持技术）具有高度可行性和/或相关性：（i）帮助直接实施缓解措施和（ii）加强生物多样性调查和监测，包括避免和最小化措施在内的干预措施的设计。
