Extinction.
We are entering the 6th mass extinction
and it’s time we turn it around.
28,000 species
are threatened with extinction.

Top 3 drivers of extinction
Overexploitation

Urbanization
Fragile Ecosystems.
Ecosystems are interconnected. If one species
goes extinct, there will likely be a domino effect.
In the next decade:
95%
of Biodiversity
could be lost.
1 million
species could be threatened
with extinction.
More funding is needed
to save more species
from extinction.
Conservation projects need $300 – $400 billion annually to protect and restore
species and habitats. Unfortunately, projects only receive $52 billion annually

What is needed?
To prevent a mass extinction, we must
conserve at least 30% of the planet by 2030.
Conservation funding needs to be scaled
20 to 30 times to reach our planet’s needs.
Mobilizing funding at scale and appealing to the masses
require novel, long-term fundraising structures.
Wildchain moves beyond donor funding
toward a gamification-driven approach.
