This Biodiversity Valuation process which tries to take into account species value, hedge value, carbon value, aesthetic value, environment value, cultural value, etc to calculate a credible data-backed value which can be used to show the (negative) tradeoff of economic development.
They seem to have had some success consulting and convincing companies to make a difference to conserve biodiversity too.
