Climate change, endangered species' habitats, and the livelihoods of local communities are all at risk. The problem we're solving is the inadequacy and scalability of traditional conservation funding methods—our innovative approach leverages web3 technology to create sustainable and impactful solutions that scale.\n\nWe are a passionate team of conservationists with a focus on restoring and rewilding degraded land, connecting it to existing wildlife ecosystems to preserve and expand the habitats of endangered species, reduce CO2 and uplift impoverished local communities through eco-tourism. Rewilding efforts on this land can support value appreciation of the underlying assets.\n\n**R3WILD is a marketplace that enables both institutions and individuals to invest in real-world wilderness land, bundled as biodiversity impact bonds.**\n\nOur solution redefines conservation fintech, offering a direct, transparent, and impactful way for users to contribute to and profit from the preservation of wilderness areas and biodiversity.\n\nTo date, we have secured 1059ha of land in Zululand, South Africa to launch our pilot project. Find out more about it [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8bXxxC4zgs). \n![Loziba](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F_sMy5tWIAALght?format=jpg&name=large) \n\nA sneak peak at the R3WILD land bond marketplace. \n![R3WILD prototype](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLL_S3aaAAAhD3N?format=jpg&name=4096x4096) \n\n**Watch our [intro video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQJUBK6OY6Q) to learn more about our mission.**\n\n![Protecting the planet](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FsY46hLWYAIHUkc?format=jpg&name=4096x4096)\n\nA brief look into our world… \n\n![Amakhala kranz](https://media.tacdn.com/media/attractions-splice-spp-674x446/06/6b/93/74.jpg)\nAmakhala Game Reserve – Where it all started. Amakhala began as our family dairy farm and was our first rewilding success story. Grant and William Fowlds were integral to the establishment of this old farmland into a world-renowned wildlife reserve, home to Africa’s Big 5 and visited by guests from across the globe.\n\n![Amakhala game vehicle with cheetah](https://d3hk78fplavsbl.cloudfront.net/assets/common-prod/hotel/205/hb331031/hb331031-1-hotel_carousel_large.jpg?version=2)\n\n![Rhino procedure](https://worldwideexperience.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Will-Fowlds-Rhinos-945x385.jpg)\nDr Will Fowlds on a white rhino procedure. \n\n![Dr Will Fowlds](https://www.helpingrhinos.org/userfiles/helpingrhinos.org/rgs-2020/will-rhino.jpg)\nIn Africa we are waging war against rhino poaching and fighting a continuous battle against poachers. A large part of our rewilding initiatives involve implementing anti-poaching units to protect these beautiful animals. \n![Antipoaching plane](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F3G4xelXYAAL1U-?format=jpg&name=large)\n\nThe Loziba Wildlife Reserve and the surrounding Loziba Community Conservancy, is one of our current initiatives that aims to bring communities and animals together for the benefit of both.\n![Loziba community](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FsZCDjUWAAIHOzE?format=jpg&name=large)\n![Loziba landscape](https://www.loziba.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/20221214_124216-scaled.jpg)\n\nThe elephants of Loziba\n![Loziba elephants](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F3CLznjW8AAo48w?format=jpg&name=medium)\n\n![Tanglewood](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FwMvH0TWAAEMud0?format=jpg&name=large)\nJess Harris and Grant Fowlds at Tanglewood – another rewilding initiative and research area in the Eastern Cape, South Africa.  \n\n![Brushpacking](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F1kGLJoX0AAz3Yk?format=jpg&name=large)\nBrush-packing at Tanglewood Conservation Centre.
