Nature Defenders

Overview

NatureDefenders is a fundraising platform that leverages the security of blockchain technology and USDT cryptocurrency to support and promote wildlife conservation efforts.
Our purpose is to contribute to wildlife conservation preventing by developing NatureDefenders a web3 crowdfunding product designed to support conservation efforts and address the pressing issue of wildlife extinction globally. We aim to engage individuals and organizations in safeguarding wildlife through secure and transparent crowdfunding while rewarding funders with unique Badges as a recognition and awareness reward.

Problem Statement:

Wildlife is facing a severe threat of extinction due to various factors such as habitat loss, poaching, illegal wildlife trade, and climate change. Without immediate intervention, iconic species, including Tiger in Southeast Asia, the African elephant, black rhino, and mountain gorilla, are at risk of disappearing forever. The loss of these majestic creatures would have a detrimental impact on the ecosystem and biodiversity of the continent.
