The UK government has finally caught onto the significance of avoiding death by maintaining the systems of our space ship. Namely, a couple of months ago it became law to cause a 10% gain in biodiversity for any development of 10+ buildings. A month ago this became law for smaller developments also. End of November next year, large developments of national significance will be held to the same standard.
As such, a niche for biodiversity net gain measurement has emerged. A company called Map Impact (https://www.mapimpact.io/) is seeking to dominate it. They have started by introducing a tool called Biodiversity View. This measures biodiversity units at your development site.
The company is gaining some traction, for example they recently featured on BBC Breakfast.
It was a pleasure to take their media coverage to the next level by featuring Nina Moiseeva (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nina-gis/), Senior Earth Observation Scientist, on the podcast.
THE GEOSPATIAL INDEX
The Geospatial Index is a comprehensive listing of all publicly traded geospatial businesses worldwide. Why? The industry is growing at ~10% annually. This varies significantly, however, by sub index. For only $58,000 to start, this growth rate is $5,000,000 over a working life. This channel, Bluesky account, newsletter, watchlist and podcast express the view that you are serious about geospatial if you take the view of an investor, venture capitalist or entrepreneur. You are expected to do your own research. This is not a replacement for that. This is not investment advice. Consider it entertainment.
