NatureRights, community platform establishing an innovative financing for environmental goals

NatureRights, through a community platform, will allow raising funds aimed for the preservation of forest plot by the reinvestment in local development projects and their surveillance. NatureRights provides a concrete solution available to all. Indeed, the addition of individual contributions in exchange of preservation deeds will make it possible to ensure the preservation of a land plot. Financing local development through alternatives for deforestation is the best remedy to ensure the preservation of the environment. NatureRights’ mechanism lies at the crossroads of three major trends: environmental protection, Web2.0 and innovative sources for the financing of sustainable development.

The equivalent to a football field of the Amazonian forest disappears every 7 seconds in Brazil in a region also hit by poverty. Meanwhile world-wide, the number of daily users of Internet community sites amounts to 1.6 billion. NatureRights, through this type of site, will allow raising funds aimed for the preservation of forest plot by the reinvestment in local development projects and their surveillance.

Operation Mode

NatureRights aims at a first application in the Brazilian Amazon, in close partnership with Brazilian authorities. The concept introduces an instrument, likely to be duplicated to other regions of the world or for other environmental challenges.

NatureRights offers, via its community Internet site, preservation deeds to citizens of the whole world and to companies. The funds raised finance development projects directly tied to a plot of land.
