"With the rising value of cryptocurrencies and their increasing acceptance in mainstream financial transactions, they represent a future-focused investmentmuch like Rainforest Rescue's projects."
That's how Kristina Wall, fundraising manager at the Australian nonprofit, describes cryptocurrencies as a "forward-looking investment, very similar to our own projects, which is why I believe it aligns so well with our mission."
That mission is to protect Australia's Daintree rainforest, one of the world's most ancient, with its own "deep-time lineage to the beginnings of flowering plants, which are still flourishing in the area but only found in the fossil record in other parts of the world," per a press release.
So far, Rainforest Rescue has received more than $220,000 in cryptocurrency donations, "critical" in the purchase of unprotected areas for protection and restoration.
"With the Climate and Biodiversity Crises in full swing, there is no time to waste," says CEO Branden Barber.
"Together we can turn the tide on thisand we're helping to provide solutions that financial support can solve."
