An innovative example exists in France where, through a public bank, a type of trading scheme has been instituted. The scheme, CDC Biodiversite, from the Caisse des Depots, a public institution, aims to offset the residual impacts of construction work which could not be avoided or reduced. Project managers subject to legal obligations to offset, or offsetting on a voluntary basis, can be represented by CDC Biodiversite which can also organize environmental operations such as creating "natural assets reserves" likely to be recognized as offsetting measures for land development projects. The first project was launched in the Camargue, on the Crau Plain in France.
