Groundbreaking Biodiversity Risk Analysis Partnership Announced Between One Earth and Dunya Analytics
In a significant move to bolster biodiversity risk management, One Earth has partnered with Dunya Analytics, a leading provider of biodiversity and nature risk analytics. This strategic alliance leverages the power of bioregional intelligence to provide a more comprehensive approach to biodiversity risk management [1].
The integration of One Earth's Bioregions Framework into Dunya Analytics' biodiversity risk assessment platform is now available to all subscribers at no additional cost. This integration allows companies to assess biodiversity risks with rich ecological context, linking business operations directly to specific ecosystems and species within biogeographic regions [1][2].
The One Earth Bioregions Framework organizes the planet into 185 distinct bioregions, spanning terrestrial, freshwater, and marine realms. Each bioregion is grounded in decades of scientific research and enriched through collaboration with ecologists, biologists, and field scientists [1].
This integration offers several key benefits:
- Bioregional Precision: The framework's division of the planet into 185 scientifically defined bioregions allows businesses to base their risk assessments on place-based ecological science rather than generalized data [1][2].
- Ecological Storytelling: Unlike many biodiversity tools that offer only risk scores or identification of high-priority areas, this integration provides narrative context about species and ecosystems impacted, making biodiversity risks more understandable and compelling internally and externally [1].
- Regulatory Alignment: This detailed ecological context aids companies in complying with emerging global nature disclosure regulations, such as the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), which require description of ecosystems and biomes — not just raw risk numbers — where operations take place [1][2].
- Accessibility and Scalability: The bioregional data is included at no additional cost for all Dunya Analytics subscribers, making advanced biodiversity insights accessible to businesses of all sizes and industries [1][2].
By transforming risk maps into rich, narrative-driven ecological context, this integration enables businesses to craft strategies that resonate with internal teams and external stakeholders. This integration also provides a means for companies to comply with the ecological context requirements of regulations like the CSRD and TNFD [1][2].
In conclusion, this partnership represents a significant step forward in biodiversity risk management. It helps companies move beyond simple biodiversity risk quantification toward more strategic, scientifically grounded risk management aligned with regulatory expectations and operational realities. This improves their capacity to make nature-positive decisions and disclosures that reflect real-world ecological dynamics within their operational footprint [1][2].
