🐦Biodiversity Reporting

To accurately monitor and verify the health and biodiversity of forests regenerated through our projects, such as those involving mangrove restoration, Blue Carbon Gold collaborates with asset managers like Vlinder and utilizes advanced methodologies like environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis. This process ensures that our efforts are not only effective in carbon sequestration but also contribute significantly to biodiversity preservation.

Verifying Project Impact with eDNA

Project Initiation and eDNA Collection: At the start of a regeneration project, eDNA samples are collected from the project site. This innovative approach, akin to environmental CSI, allows us to detect the presence of various species in the area without needing direct observation. It involves analyzing soil and water samples for DNA traces left by organisms, providing a comprehensive overview of the biodiversity within the regenerated forest.

Collaboration with Experts: We employ species-specific and species-general analyses of eDNA. These analyses help us identify not only the presence of various species but also monitor their populations over time, offering insights into the ecosystem's health and the success of our regeneration efforts.

Updating NFTs Based on Accreditation by Verra

VCU Attribution and NFT Updates: As the project progresses and the regenerated area begins to sequester carbon, we receive Voluntary Carbon Units (VCUs) accreditation from Verra, a globally recognized standard-setting body for carbon credits. This accreditation serves as a testament to the project's impact on carbon sequestration and biodiversity enhancement.

Real-time Monitoring and Rewards: The VCUs attributed to each project are reflected in real-time on the holder's NFTs. Through our web3 account protocol, Blue Carbon Gold, NFT holders can monitor the growth and environmental contributions of their invested plots. They can see updates on the total earned VCUs, ensuring transparency and accountability in our regeneration efforts.

Engaging Users Through Blue Carbon Gold Protocol

Empowering Choices: Through the Blue Carbon Gold web3 protocol, users are empowered with choices on how to utilize their VCUs. They can opt to keep them staked, contributing to ongoing conservation efforts, or leverage them through our off-chain market makers, underscoring the tangible impact of their investment.

Conservation as a Collectible: Ultimately, this process turns the act of nature conservation into a collectible, allowing investors to directly engage with and benefit from the regeneration of vital ecosystems. By marrying technology with conservation, we offer a novel way for individuals to contribute to the planet's health while reaping potential rewards.

Our approach exemplifies how cutting-edge science and blockchain technology can converge to create meaningful environmental impact. By utilizing eDNA for biodiversity monitoring and ensuring accountability through VCUs accreditation, Blue Carbon Gold sets a new standard in ecosystem regeneration and conservation.
