This makes deforestation the most economically compelling option for them.\n\nFortunately, blockchains allow us to demonstrate the proof of impact of small scale conservation projects in a transparent and trustless way.  This makes it possible for us to design new ways to compensate rural communities for preserving their land.\n\nWhy Colombia? 🇨🇴 \n\nColombia is the second most biodiverse country in the world, the first in varieties of birds, orchids and butterflies.\nThis biodiversity depends largely on the survival of ecosystems like forests. \n\n50% of Colombia’s territory is covered by forests, however, we are losing 500 hectares of forests every single day.\n\nWhat is causing deforestation in Colombia? 🪓🔥\n\n- Lack of opportunities and education in rural communities. \n- Solutions to forest preservation like carbon credits are not a sustainable economic model for small-scale forests.\n- Increasing deforestation in protected areas like national parks.\n- Cattle farming and extensive agriculture\n- Ilegal drugs production \n- Lack of infrastructure \n\nHow do we avoid deforestation? 🐒\n\n\nOur model aims to create avoided deforestation credits for small scale forests and collectives. Supporting local communities to actively create and manage their own projects. \nMore info and model in our website www.kokodao.xyz \n\n\nWhere is the money going? 💵\n\n- Onboarding non web3.0 impact projects to crypto\n- Recruiting team for social media and product development\n- Support local school in the creation of an endemic tree nursery\n- dMRV technology implementation in our pilot project: 15 hectares of native forest in Huila, Colombia.\n- Legal expenses. \n\n🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳\n\nFind all our docs in: \n\nWebsite: https://kokodao.xyz/\n\nNotion: https://kokodao.notion.site/KOKO-DAO-c2250b8ab58548ad8a0cf487ff4f4522\n\nOther links: \nTwitter:@kokodaoxyz  https://twitter.com/kokodaoxyz\n\nDiscord: https://discord.gg/B2vgk7NwHq\n\nYouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6a6fJ9W4Vg\nContact: hello@kokodao.xyz\n\nKokodaoxyz.eth \n\nThank you for your support 💚", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "kokodaoxyz"}
