We rally individuals, organizations & companies around land-based regeneration projects. Our goal is to help reverse climate change by combining tech, community & indigenous ancestral wisdom.**\n\nWe're committed to regenerating ecosystems worldwide through our innovative climate subscription model. Supporters contribute monthly, and these funds are directly allocated to land-based ecosystem regeneration projects. Our efforts span a wide range of initiatives, from mangrove planting to coral reef restoration and sustainable agriculture, each carefully chosen to have a tangible impact on the planet's health.\n\n**PROGRESS & USE OF PREVIOUS FUNDS**\n\nWe currently have 35 subscribers who pay $5.00/month to fund Ama Earth Group-led projects. Now that we have successfully coded our proprietary software platform, we are preparing to “go-to-market” and onboard more users including individuals and enterprise subscribers. \n\nThus far, we have completed 5 climate positive projects across 4 countries including:\n\n**Project #1: 🏖️ Beach Cleanup for Cerro Gordo (Puerto Rico 🇵🇷)**\n\n*Details:* 150 pcs. removed from natural reserve and away from water sources\n\n[![Screenshot-2024-04-15-at-1-24-27-PM.png](https://i.postimg.cc/3x0sDGyw/Screenshot-2024-04-15-at-1-24-27-PM.png)](https://postimg.cc/v4MqJctR)\n\n**Project #2: 🪴 Rooftop Garden Installation for Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas (Brazil 🇧🇷)**\n\n*Details:* 8 native plants installed on a rooftop in Rocinha, Rio de Janeiro to prevent toxic runoff into the nearby Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas\n\n[![Screenshot-2024-04-15-at-1-24-50-PM.png](https://i.postimg.cc/T1RxV3z4/Screenshot-2024-04-15-at-1-24-50-PM.png)](https://postimg.cc/wybnHgTX)\n\n**Project #3: 🌾 Invasive Species Removal & Native Plant Installation for Passaic River (USA 🇺🇸)**\n\n*Details:* 150 ft. of Japanese Knotweed removed and 5 native plants installed to improve water quality for one of the most polluted rivers in the country\n\n[![Project-3-Action.png](https://i.postimg.cc/LsqhdcPC/Project-3-Action.png)](https://postimg.cc/7Ckq0Qm0)\n\n**Project #4: 🌱 Erosion Control & Riverbank Cleanup for Otamiri River (Nigeria 🇳🇬)**\n\n*Details:* 5 native riparian plants were installed (Kola nut tree, coconut palm, etc) to prevent erosion, extensive water quality tests conducted together with the local community, and 3,000 litter pieces removed from the banks of the river. We received spiritual permission from the Igbo River Priest of the Otamiri and conducted the restoration efforts under the guidance of the Igbo indigenous peoples of Nigeria\n\n[![Screenshot-2024-04-15-at-1-00-42-PM.png](https://i.postimg.cc/zBjsxBf9/Screenshot-2024-04-15-at-1-00-42-PM.png)](https://postimg.cc/Q9FYtj1b)\n\n**Project #5: 🐢 Leatherback Turtle Conservation & Nest Identification Poles (Puerto Rico 🇵🇷)**\n\n*Details:* 50 numbered steel poles installed throughout a natural reserve to help volunteers identify newly established Leatherback turtles nests\n\n[![Screenshot-2024-04-15-at-2-39-04-PM.png](https://i.postimg.cc/63Wbz4Qn/Screenshot-2024-04-15-at-2-39-04-PM.png)](https://postimg.cc/nsW1hzBh)\n\n**GITCOIN FUNDS USAGE**\n\nGitcoin funds will be used to fund, organize, and design more ecosystem regeneration projects. We have several lined up including planting 500+ mangroves to help protect Puerto Rico from storm surges, restoration of an abandoned beach in Puerto Rico, further water quality improvement for the Passaic River, and much more!\n\nAll Gitcoin funds will go towards funding regenerative projects that we complete ourselves and all costs associated with these projects are publicly available on our website.\n\n**ROADMAP**\n\nWe ultimately want to build a large enough base of subscribers so that we can regularly allocate large sums of capital towards all types of projects that benefit our ecosystems including Reforestation, Soil Regeneration, Solar Farms, Coral Reef Gardening, etc.\n\n**IMPACT**\n\nWe estimate that our 5 projects remove 558 lbs CO2/yr from the atmosphere!", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "amaearthgroup"}
