The world needs the creation of new incentives that can redesign the coordination of actions that our species have been driving since industrial revolution.

Endangered Tokens DAO is a ReFi dMRV & NFT community looking to revalue biodiversity and incentivize regeneration by tokenizing endangered trees with web3 preserve&earn incentives and digital value added with content, technology and real world impact.

How will we accomplish this?

We are building a real life impact coordination game in which users can receive rewards for verifying georreferenced trees with their phones. Each specimen is characterized and photographed alongside a small verse description, and when owning one, you become the godfather of a scarce endangered tree!
With the funds raised we will help landowners finance the protection of endangered Forest with reforestation, verification of carbon credits from the forests and the creation of quality digital content & data to add value to the tokens, content like:

• Georeferenced images and interactive mapping, Taken through our Entsnap dApp in a decentralized way and available publicly.
• Inmersive UX for ReFi Assets, to engage with web3 enthusiasts and show the value of each token as seen in real life.
• 3D tourism experience of the protected forests thus reducing the footprint of real life tourism while also generating a continuous flow of revenue to keep supporting the protection of the forests.
• Using the 3D replicas of each tree as a virtual asset for video games and/or augmented reality experiences
• Recording data from the forest for research and enhanced digital experiences like music from the frequencies of the trees, bioacoustics, video recording of the ecosystems, climate data, water flow, among other relevant information.

NFT holders will receive a portion of the revenue that will come from the NFT Sales, tourism experiences, data management and carbon credits, thus converting endangered trees from liabilities to biodiversity assets for the future.

We are also developing a new type of Credit Class for Old Grown Trees (OGT credit Class) so any type of big tree can become a way of proving your positive impact in the world and a way of financing its protection, instead of cutting them down for wood.

Which kind of trees are we talking about?

We are currently working in Chile in South america, with the rare species Gomortega Keule, or locally known as Queule. This magnificent beings are the last one of the Gomortegacae Family, dating its evolution to Pangea times. It is estimated that there are no more than 4000 specimens alive in the world! (Scarcer than Bitcoin!)

With the help of past Gitcoin Grants we are also making contacts and reviewing possible projects with the Brazilian Tree "Pau Brasil" or Paubrasilia echinata an endangered Species of tree from which the country got it's name! The heavily abused lumbering by portuguese conquerors depleted their population and nowadays is a rare and unique living being.

We are developing a roadmap of species to keep onboarding, like Alerce, Pitao, Araucaria, Baobab, Sequoia, and others.

Missions

1.-To foster the protection of endangered trees by bestowing them with tangible value in society.

2.-Form a decentralized investment community for biodiversity preservation, giving value and governance to stakeholders through Crypto Assets.

Vision

As humans we need to revalue biodiversity and living ecosystems through the preservation of Endangered Species, which are invaluable natural assets to society.
We envision a world where endangered and long lived trees are not only preserved but also revered for their intrinsic value, fostering a harmonious coexistence between nature and society.

Problem to Solve

Endangered trees are responsible for maintaining the health of most of the world's endangered forest ecosystems, but rarely produce relevant revenue for landowners (without being damaged) and even become financial liabilities, thus encouraging their ilegal felling.

Endangered Tokens’ Solution

Leverage web3, dMRV and digital art to incentivize the protection of these scarce beings by changing their status from merely the cost of maintaining a tree to a revenue producing Bio-Asset. Using NFTs ERC-721 we tokenize trees through imaging and georeferencing becoming pioneers in the tokenization of Natural Real World Assets (NRWA)
