Endangered Wildlife OU February 2026 Newsletter

Biodiversity, Business and Financial Analysis

The onset of the biodiversity credit market and nature-based disclosures begs the question as to what impact are businesses having on the ground, and whether this impact is for the businesses or actually for nature. The definition of nature and natural resources itself raises further questions – quite often wildlife is excluded from the definition of natural resources, though wildlife is equally important, and valuable, to the greater ecosystem and economic structure.

Often there is a bias towards human perceptions of value, and discrimination towards species that ignite primordial fears. This is a topic that we have often discussed and presented at Endangered Wildlife OÜ. It is the primordial fear of the predators, like wolves and sharks, and unusual looking creatures, like spiders, that has led to their persecution and to the belief that it is just to kill them and, as such, not to view them as natural resources that benefit society and the economy. But if we take, for example, those (or precisely those) wolves that are being culled in many countries across the world – it is their existence which has been proven to save local economies millions of euros annually by regulating prey species that are unwittingly involved in motor vehicle accidents. And, yet, this service tends to be overlooked.

Expanding on the case of the wolf and motor vehicle accidents, why is the presence of wolves not prioritised or supported by the likes of motor vehicle and life insurance companies? Wolves are, in fact, directly influencing the insurance industry - by providing this service. Effectively, the loss of wolves will result in an increase in motor vehicle accidents, human accident deaths, and cost the insurance (in terms of payouts). Yet, it is more likely that the insurance companies will view wildlife as a risk rather than from an opportunity perspective, by assessing the risk of a deer-, moose- or boar-related motor vehicle accident.

While the financial and business world are trying to navigate the complexity of biodiversity and nature in terms of reporting and risk assessment, we maintain the belief that the only way to fully acknowledge and register the interdependency between business and nature is by valuing nature in the same way in which all other assets are valued. In spite of popular opinion, it is fully viable and just to value biodiversity as a means of recognising how biodiversity contributes to the success of a business, both financially and operationally. 

We have previously demonstrated the direct advantage from both of these perspectives when integrating biodiversity into the property development planning process by demonstrating the value gains (profit margins, ROI, and NAV) to a property development case study. Request the report.

To demonstrate the power of financially valuing biodiversity and how this can be integrated into the financial analysis of businesses, we invite you to our webinar on Thursday, 26 March 2026 at 3pm CET. Registrations are limited, so we encourage you to register early.

Companies still struggle to clearly assess and communicate biodiversity risks and opportunities, and to convert and perceive biodiversity net gain into an economic benefit rather than a cost.

Introducing the Biodiversity Valuation Platform – the world’s first platform that financially values biodiversity using a scalable, proprietary, peer-reviewed valuation methodology. It is a vertically integrated system that values biodiversity in monetary terms using real-world ecological and financial data, consisting of the Biodiversity Database, the Biodiversity Valuator (AI software under development), and bespoke Biodiversity Valuation Consulting services. This enables governments, corporates, NGOs, and investors to treat biodiversity as a measurable asset, unlocking new markets, regulatory alignment, and conservation ROI.

Endangered Wildlife OÜ currently is the only company to be working on a scalable solution to financially value biodiversity. Unlike other solutions, we offer the ability to calculate biodiversity ROI and value at risk, using a standardised, peer-reviewed valuation methodology, as well as a granular species-level database.

Already we have worked with 13 clients ranging from NGOs, to private and listed companies, and have completed 150 individual species and seven richness valuations. Request a sample report.
