This value has previously been difficult to calculate and monetize due to the nature of the current commodity-based global economy, which only values land for the resources that can be extracted from it and not for the life-sustaining services that it offers in its natural state. \n\nECORISE offers a new paradigm for those who want to make significant and reliable ROI while supporting projects that are helping preserve the natural world and the ecosystems that sustain all life on Earth. \n\nECORISE aligns interests between a wide variety of stakeholders, including future generations, to ensure that profitability does not need to come at the expense of our ecological security. \n\nThe ECORISE platform harnesses the power of natural capital assets and ecosystems to create a regenerative economy by leveraging various interconnected technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Digital measurement, reporting, and verification (dMRV), and Blockchain technology (on-chain assets and data) to create a comprehensive Web3 ecosystem that empowers humanity to buy back the planet.", "hidden": false, "question": "Please explain how your project meets the Climate Solutions Round eligibility criteria.

The farmers receive valuable capital to continue growing their business and the Investors receive a healthy Return on Investment.\n\nOur second Pilot Project is in Ambodipesy, Madagascar.  Here is a 3350 hectare rainforest in conservation, with a neighboring property of 260 hectares that have been heavily deforested.  We have partnered with the landowner and local stakeholders to start a Tree Nursery for tens of thousands of native trees to reforest the 260 hectares.  This project is to incentivise and fund the growing of native tree nurseries as a regenerative and lucrative business oppportunity that allows local stakeholders to setup their own nurseries, sell their trees to treeplanting NGO's that are coming to aid in reforesting Madagascar.  The regenertive impact actions create new employment opportunities as well which focus on conservation and regeneration.\n\nA Tree can be started for $0.02, and sold for $ 1 or more.
