The American Burying Beetle was originally listed in 1989 as Endangered under the Endangered Species Act but was down-listed to Threatened in 2020. Primary threats to the American Burying Beetle are habitat loss, alteration, or degradation, the lack of carrion in their environments and climate change. From 2012 through 2020, Common Ground Capital worked with Wildwood Credits of Tyler, Texas to develop thousands of acres of conservation banks in eastern Oklahoma to serve the needs of the oil and gas and renewable industries. This effort resulted in significant conservation success that ultimately helped down list the American Burying Beetle on the endangered species list and also facilitated billions of dollars worth of energy infrastructure projects to be built in a responsible manner.
