About the project
We believe that Bitcoin can be beneficial for wildlife and nature conservation if organisations adopt the technology and get financial support from the Bitcoin community.
It is important for Bitcoin’s impact to extend beyond human rights and wellfare considerations to include animals’ protection as well. Therefore, with our experience and knowledge of the Bitcoin ecosystem, we help our projects to embrace Bitcoin.
By embracing Bitcoin donations, you encourage innovation in charitable giving, ensuring sustainable conservation impacts for wildlife worldwide.
Donations are vital to ngo’s as they rely on public funding to carry out their mission. Moreover, minimal transaction costs and quick acces to funds is essential. 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 efforts, 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.
As the Bitcoin technology is new and not always well understood, education and explanation is needed.
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.
To secure the future of wildlife ngo’s they need to enhance fundraising efficiency and raise donations in BTC which are hodl’ed in a self-custody wallet, so the BTC appreciation can strengthen the fund for further initiatives.
With our financial expertise and knowledge of the Bitcoin technology, we have helped our local wildlife organisations in their process to understand and then adopt bitcoin.
We do this on a voluntary basis and do not receive any salary from our funding.
Our Bitcoin Strategy
Our approach aims to ensure the long-term sustainability of ngo’s by advocating for the adoption of Bitcoin donations.
- Donations are stored in a self-custody wallet, allowing for the potential growth of Bitcoin’s value over time.
- This strategy enhances funds for future initiatives, particularly when inflation worldwide might cause traditional donations to fall short of covering costs.
In order to actively help South African ngo’s to adopt Bitcoin, we raise donations in BTC which are hoddl’ed in our self-custody wallet.
- These ngo’s do not always accept bitcoin yet so we provide a 0% EUR loan to our fund when projects need to cover their costs.
- Projects who already accept Bitcoin donations are paid in Bitcoin to their wallet.
- Meanwhile the BTC in our wallet can appreciate to strengthen our fund for further initiatives.
In a following stage, we will also use the funds to 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.
How It Began
Our founders, Ben and Helen, leverage their deep expertise in economics and finance to stay ahead of global trends. Aware of vulnerabilities in monetary systems—like government corruption, limited banking access, and rising debt since 2008, worsened by COVID-19 and inflation—they believe traditional policies fall short in the digital age.
Bitcoin, as the world’s largest decentralised computing network, offers a promising, globally accessible solution for financial settlements, promoting inclusivity and minimising transaction costs.
The Projects we support
We support the Bitcoin Elephant Fund in Hoedspruit, helping an elephant herd and orphanage and their carers. We also back a female anti-poaching unit and its community and an Amazonian community in the rainforest.
