Hi. The LEED Online form for this credit was updated recently and now international projects have to "Provide documents identifying how the local equivalent used is equivalent to the referenced". We're working with a redevelopment on a urban site and therefore it is not a habitat for threatened or endangered species. We cannot easily show an equivalent standard, since the environment ministry, and environmental divisions of local governments does not release specifically where the habitat of endangered species are. The reason for that is because they fear people might try to collect those species if the information is available. Any ideas on how international problems can cope with this credit in general instead of finding local equivalents?
