Essential ecosystem services
Nature's ecosystem services are essential for all life and also contribute to human quality of life and well-being. An ecosystem is the environment and all living things in an area of nature. Ecosystems are dependent on biodiversity, where each species has its special role in a unique cooperation. A functioning ecosystem with biodiversity is a prerequisite for tackling the challenges associated with, for example, climate change and resource use. By increasing knowledge about the ecosystem, you create a better understanding of how to conserve biodiversity.

Current situation analysis for companies & businesses
A first step to interpreting and understanding your impacts and dependencies on biodiversity is to map your company's Biodiversity Footprint. This is the impact and dependencies of your business on
biodiversity and natural capital. By analyzing key raw materials, products and geographical areas in the value chain, you will get a clear picture of the risks and challenges that will be a strong contributing factor to your company's continued development. We can also create a picture of where you stand in relation to your competitors. With this as a basis, the conditions are created for defining strategies, measures and goals that can be integrated with climate, water and other nature-related strategies.
CLIMB
Ecogain offers CLIMB calculations, a tool for quantifying and valuing biodiversity. With CLIMB, it is possible to calculate the change of an area over time in terms of biodiversity, and also to quantitatively compare areas in different locations.
Strategy Formulation & Implementation
Based on your objectives, we help you develop a clear and well-formulated strategy for your biodiversity work. Together, we also ensure measurement and impact assessment. To turn the chosen strategy into action, we identify concrete measures and methods of implementation that enable long-term sustainability and resilience for your business.
Why biodiversity affects your business
One of the most important prerequisites for turning biodiversity into a competitive advantage is your own knowledge of how biodiversity affects your business. We analyse your knowledge needs and tailor training courses to your organization. In addition, if you want to ensure that you build a foundation for implementation, leaders need to take the lead. Knowledge enhancement
measures in biodiversity at management level create the conditions for you to make the right strategic decisions. Not only to be in line with global agreements and new regulations, but also to identify new business opportunities and secure good financing.

Questions and answers
Addressing the issue of biodiversity has positive impacts on various sustainability objectives and on the environment and climate. Biodiversity is an umbrella term for all the variety of species that exist and play a crucial role in the basic functions of nature.
What is biodiversity?
Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth and includes the diversity of species, genetic variation within species, and the diversity of ecosystems. It is fundamental to the functioning of ecosystems and to all life on Earth.
Why is biodiversity important?
Biodiversity is important because it contributes to the stability of ecosystems, providing ecosystem services such as pollination, air and water purification and food production. It is also crucial for our ability to adapt to climate change.
What are the threats to biodiversity?
The main threats to biodiversity are habitat loss, climate change, pollution, overexploitation of natural resources, invasive species and diseases spread by humans.
How can we protect biodiversity?
We can protect biodiversity by preserving natural habitats, creating protected areas, reducing the use of harmful chemicals, fighting climate change and supporting sustainable farming practices. Even small actions, such as planting flowers for pollinators, can make a big difference.
What is an example of an ecosystem service provided by biodiversity?
One example is pollination, which is crucial for the cultivation of many crops. Bees, butterflies and other pollinators help ensure that plants can reproduce and bear fruit.
What are 'invasive species' and why are they a threat to biodiversity?
Invasive species are species that spread to new areas where they do not belong and often lack natural enemies. They can outcompete native species, alter ecosystems and cause significant damage to biodiversity.
