This is a byproduct of the scientifically bankrupt implementation of the endangered species act.

If we as a society care about endangered species, there should be an option to make or improve habitat for such species to offset development.

Humans are bad at curating habitats for other species.

Making or improving habitats for endangered species most effectively involves: leaving them the hell alone.

Getting a construction company to commit to curating (or financing) the habitat for endangered species is a specious political solution that favours continuing with unsustainable construction over essential habitats. I bet there is not a single case where this has been long-term effective.
