Protecting Unique Wildernesses with the Power of the Blockchain

WildCoin is the initiative of the For Wildlife Foundation, a South African registered Non-Profit Wildlife Conservation organization.

The WildCoin Project believes with the unique power of the blockchain we can divert some of the worlds money to the causes most deserving of help, while giving real value to coin holders for their contributions. WildCoin will be a currency that is tied to real tangible square meters of land in places like Africa, Indonesia and India, where wilderness and endangered species are most threatened. We hope to provide stability safety and sustainability for some of the world’s most amazing animals and plants so that future generations might enjoy them as we have.

With stakeholders, advisors and research beneficiaries such as Dr Boyes from National Geographic Explorers, Mass Consulting who represented the White House in the USA and CongoEM which works with the presidency in Democratic Republic of Congo the success of the project in terms of output and access to sensitive areas can be assured.

Contributing to the WildCoin Project enables:

• 1st of it's kind cryptocurrency protecting wilderness and wildlife
• 1st of it's kind cryptocurrency distributed against Wildlife Conservation contributions
• 1st of it's kind cryptocurrency backed by a tangible audited asset which underpins the value of the coin

The Project

WildCoin is a new Cryptocurrency project, issued to contributors to the project which enables the needed resources for the project. The initial stages of research and IP development provided comprehensive research across 127 pieces of wilderness relevant land ranging from only a few Ha to 15 000 Ha. The research provided an average fixed cost, including all facets relating to wilderness and wildlife protection management and research, including a 50 year sustainability financial buffer. The WildCoin Project incoming contributions will provide the resources to protect and manage these wilderness areas for the first 50 years, as sustainability is the key to any conservation success. Thus, built into the budget is not only 50 years’ worth of resource, but sustainable and internal revenue making operations which will see the financial sustainability of these areas well into the next century. The WildCoin is ambitiously taking on the responsibility of establishing an accumulated protective sanctuary of 10 mil Hectares for the wilderness and its natural resources. All land has commercial value. It is this value of the wilderness land under protection which is the tangible asset along with other assets that creates verifiable project value against which the WildCoin is measured.

On top of this, the new science of Bio Economics considers all biotic and abiotic aspects of the project areas and assigns a monetary value as to what it is worth to humanity in monetary terms. Thus clean water, protected and endangered species, and particular habitat zones could increase the value of the coin even further just through a protection mechanism provided by the WildCoin Project and audited by a Bioeconomic a auditor.

Obvious Conservation Outcomes include:

• Endangered Species Protection
• Migration routes and natural system flows
• Protection of clean water fast becoming the worlds most precious natural resource
• Carbon Footprint reduction
• Anti-poaching and protection
• Biodiversity promotion

The WildCoin

Through our research, it is economically viable to acquire / protect / lease, manage, maintain research and staff a piece of wilderness land for 50 years, for $1.20 per square meter. This includes all infrastructure such as roads, buildings and power; resources such as vehicles, technology and fuel; staffing such as management and anti-poaching; Scientific Research which drives knowledge, understanding and policy change. Because all wilderness is tangible land, or Real Estate and has monetary value (along with the bio economic factors such as animal and plant life, water and geology etc.), in a world where human populations are increasing and pressure on wilderness in increasing, this land becomes a huge and increasing valuable asset which essentially will determine the value of the WildCoin cryptocurrency. Thus, one WildCoin equates to 1 square meter of wilderness under protection and your contributions will be matched by issuing the relevant volume of WildCoin cryptocurrency. Our project aims to protect 10 mil Ha,and as more and more wilderness falls under our protection, our coin value goes up as the cumulative value of our land goes up along with the inclusion of the Bio Economic assets as audited within the project. The more successful this project is around the globe, the more value your WildCoin will hold.

Delivery

The ICO will go live 4 weeks after a successful crowdfund, and if the ICO attracts the required amount of coin purchases, the project HQ and 1st project area will be live within 6-9 months. The means that within this time frame your WildCoin is backed by a tangible finite land asset which increases in value over time, but more importantly that your contributions to Wildlife Conservation have been significant and helpful. Future CO’s will enable future project areas, and timeline delivery on larger project can be between 6-9 months before the projects go live.

Risks and challenges

We have a number of obvious challenges ahead, namely, building a secure and easy to use cryptocurrency that transacts quickly and efficiently. Another challenge is getting our voice heard in the cryptocurrency arena. This sector is flooded with many new enterprises offering glorious benefits for investors and technology uptakers. With the required funds hopefully generated by Kickstarter, we are confident that the challenges will be easily overcome.
