NFTs for Conservation and Natural Resources
An alternative funding stream for much needed action in the conservation space
Project Ark Mission
Project Ark is an innovative new blockchain-powered conservation platform for rare digital
collectibles or NFTs (Non-fungible tokens), which directly fund animal and environmental conservation efforts around the world.
What is an NTF?
An NFT is a digital asset that represents both real-world and digital objects such as art, music, in-game items and videos. They are bought and sold online, frequently with cryptocurrencies, and they are generally transferred and stored using various decentralised blockchain networks.
Using these, Project Ark hopes to revolutionize the traditional fundraising model for conservation efforts around the world.
