Songbird becomes world's first 'digital species' for conservation

[FfFfFfFF 58,133]

BirdLife Partner Nature Seychelles is looking for innovative ways to fund the protection of their wildlife, including the Seychelles Magpie-robin (Endangered). Today, the bird is up for sale as the first ever Digital Nature Collectible, using carbon-neutral infrastructure that expends almost zero energy.

“The Seychelles Magpie-robin will take us into the unchartered waters of digital tokens for conservation, with a limited edition of the first 59 collectibles – representing a ‘digital twin’ of this Endangered living bird.

As traditional sources of funding have dried up, we need innovative ways to support long-term programmes that are the backbone of successful conservation. This is just the beginning of experiments to find new income streams for conservation,” said Dr. Nirmal Shah, the CEO of Nature Seychelles.

I really like this idea, if this works this would be a great way to spend your money as opposed to a million subscriptions. 

I can see a lot of people using this.
