Bitcoin for Wildlife Conservation
Through the Bitcoin for Conservation fundraiser we help secure the future of ngo’s. Bitcoin contributes not only to the effectiveness of wildlife and nature conservation efforts but also to the overall safety and well-being of the dedicated individuals working in challenging and dangerous environments.
FUNDS ALREADY RAISED
JANUARY 2024 – Adopting Bitcoin Conference in Cape-Town, South-Africa.
As the Bitcoin technology is new and not always well understood, education and explanation is needed. Therefore we worked together with Bitcoin Ekasi to get the wildlife organisations HERD Elephants, Transfrontier Africa, The Black Mambas and The BushBabies to the Adopting Bitcoin Conference in Cape-Town, South-Africa.
JANUARY 2024 : 1,850,295 SATS through GEYSER FUNDRAISER to cover the travel expenses for 3 team members of the Black Mambas rangers unit to attend the Bitcoin conference in Cape Town. Their participation has enabled them to gain insights into adopting the Bitcoin technology for enhanced financial and transactional security within their local communities.
The Black Mambas embody female empowerment in a traditionally male-dominated field. They actively work on shared responsibility from their community work for protecting the environment. Therefore, we have organised that they will also be able to visit the Bitcoin Ekasi Center after attending the conference in order to explore what a bitcoin circular economy could mean for themselves and their own community
While initiatives such as selling merchandise, art and fostering educational programs can be effective for NGO’S, they often fall short of covering the significant costs they face. By incorporating Bitcoin into their fundraising efforst, these organisations can enhance their financial resources and make a more impactful difference.
Moreover due to above inflationary developments, people donate less every year which is understandable as individuals are not interested in giving when they struggle to cope themselves.
To secure the future of wildlife ngo’s they need to raise donations in BTC which are hodl’ed in a self-custody wallet, so the BTC appreciation can strengthen the fund for further initiatives.
By bolstering financial and transactional security, Bitcoin contributes not only to the effectiveness of wildlife conservation efforts but also to the overall safety and well-being of the dedicated individuals working in challenging and dangerous environments.
In order to actively help South African ngo’s to adopt Bitcoin, we raise donations in BTC which are hodl’ed in a self-custody wallet. We provide a 0% EUR loan to the fund, which supports Bitcoin adoption, while BTC appreciation strengthens the fund for further initiatives.
In a following stage, we may create a bitcoin circular economy in the surrounding communities. To do this we have to educate local actors on bitcoin and pay them in bitcoin when they start educating others themselves.
As the Bitcoin technology is new and not always well understood, education and explanation is needed. Therefore we have set up this fundraiser to help wildlife organisations in their process to adopt bitcoin. We do this on a voluntary basis and do not receive any salary from our fund.
We are currently helping the HERD Elephant Orphanage, Transfrontier Africa and the Black Mambas anti-poaching unit in South-Africa in their process to accept bitcoin donations.
We believe wildlife organisations can benefit from adopting bitcoin and support of the bitcoin community. With our experience and knowledge of the bitcoin ecosystem, we help wildlife projects to use bitcoin.
We work together with the experienced team from Jan3 and Bitcoin Ekasi for the realisation of these Bitcoin Adoption projects.
We are also very grateful for the support of Lightning Checkout to help us selflessly facilitating our bitcoin payments in our webshop with their integration in order to be able to accept bitcoin and lightning donations for the many projects we support. We are very happy with their contribution to our fund.
