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\u2014our 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.
