: J.P.G.J. co-authored a paper that was quite critical of the social impact of Ambatovy’s biodiversity offsets in 2017. She was later approached by the new leadership of Ambatovy who asked if she could return to villages visited in that research to explore the current situation. She collected independent information from a number of villages around the Conservation Zone, Torotorofotsy and CFAM biodiversity offsets and fed this back to the mine. This work was funded by an Economic and Social Research Council Impact Accelerator Award to J.P.G.J. She has never received any funding from Ambatovy. The other authors declare no competing interests.
