Buy an NFT, and help protect endangered species

One of the first aspects of the criticism leveled at the NFT is the possibility of potential damage to their continued production and distribution environment. Much of this was attributed to the increased strain of the NFT ecosystem embedded in the etherium blockchain.

Fortunately, several groups have unveiled the keys to creating NFTs – and blockchain technology as a whole – to be more environmentally sustainable: shifting from work-proof verification models to proof-of-stack models. With the release of Algorand, a power-efficient blockchain that is partnering with ClimateTrade to offset its carbon footprint and other eco-friendly blockchains such as the Tezos, concerns may gradually fade.

Nevertheless, the importance of using NFTs as good energy for our planet remains. Thanks to this green blockchain, organizations are focused on helping save our planet, and its inhabitants are embracing this technology – such as the Australian Zoo and the World Wildlife Foundation.

Crocodile Hunter’s legacy survives in the blockchain

The Australian Zoo, founded by Steve and Terry Irwin, is launching their first web 3 campaign using Algorand: Wildlife Warriors“The NFT project. The limited series celebrates the 20th anniversary of the zoo’s wildlife fighters.

Irwin’s son, Robert Irwin, spoke in a press release about the importance of the launch: “This green chain and new technology allow us to continue fighting for the protection of wildlife and wildlife.”

In partnership with Meadow Labs, an Australian tech startup dedicated to creating the “most meaningful digital collection experience in the world”, the NFT project will feature a series of drops, each focusing on the wildlife of the Australian Zoo. NFTs will be created randomly, non-determinative, utility-driven and 100 percent unique.

All proceeds from the sale will go to the Australian Zoo and, subsequently, to fund efforts to preserve wildlife fighters.

Martin Kelly, co-founder and CEO of Meadow Labs, spoke of the opportunity in a press release, saying:

Non-fungi … animals?

The World Wildlife Foundation is using NFTs to fund conservation efforts. In February 2022, they unveiled the Non-Fungible Animals project – a limited introduction to NFT artwork depicting ten endangered species of animals. These endangered species include the giant panda, the mountain gorilla and the vaquita – a marine mammal of which only 22 confirmed individuals live in the forest.

To show just how close these species are to extinction, the WWF is matching the number of one-to-one copies of each animal’s work available with the number of wildlife in their real-life replicas.

At the time of writing, Vakita and Sawla pieces have both sold out. Hopefully, the funds raised from this project – currently around $ 300,000 – will ensure that the animals based on these pieces will not meet the same fate.
