# Biodiversity Value

> Biodiversity Value (biodiversityvalue.com.au) is a MapCheck service. It explains native vegetation rules and biodiversity credit opportunities on rural land in New South Wales, Australia, and offers the Biodiversity Value & Market Report (early access). MapCheck (mapcheck.com.au) is NSW property intelligence built from 140+ government datasets across 128 LGAs. Reports are a preliminary screening tool, not a formal Biodiversity Assessment Method (BAM) assessment or legal advice.
