Bitcoin Adoption for Wildlife Conservation
Through the Bitcoin Adoption for Wildlife Conservation fundraiser we help secure the future of the projects we support. Bitcoin contributes not only to the effectiveness of wildlife and nature conservation efforts but also to the overall safety and well-being of the dedicated individuals working in challenging and dangerous environments.
In order to actively help South African ngo’s to adopt Bitcoin, we raise donations in BTC which are hoddl’ed in our self-custody wallet. These ngo’s do not always accept bitcoin yet so we provide a 0% EUR loan to our fund when projects need to cover their costs. Projects who already accept Bitcoin donations are paid in Bitcoin to their wallet. Meanwhile the BTC can appreciate to strengthen our fund for further initiatives.

FUNDS ALREADY RAISED
JANUARY 2024 – Adopting Bitcoin Conference in Cape-Town, South-Africa.
As the Bitcoin technology is new and not always well understood, education and explanation is needed. Therefore we worked together with Bitcoin Ekasi to get the wildlife organisations HERD Elephants, Transfrontier Africa, The Black Mambas and The BushBabies to the Adopting Bitcoin Conference in Cape-Town, South-Africa.
JANUARY 2024 : 1,850,295 SATS through GEYSER FUNDRAISER to cover the travel expenses for 3 team members of the Black Mambas rangers unit to attend the Bitcoin conference in Cape Town. Their participation has enabled them to gain insights into adopting the Bitcoin technology for enhanced financial and transactional security within their local communities.
The Black Mambas embody female empowerment in a traditionally male-dominated field. They actively work on shared responsibility from their community work for protecting the environment. Therefore, we have organised that they will also be able to visit the Bitcoin Ekasi Center after attending the conference in order to explore what a bitcoin circular economy could mean for themselves and their own community
Donations are vital to ngo’s as they rely on public funding to carry out their mission. Moreover, minimal transaction costs and quick acces to funds is essential. While initiatives such as selling merchandise, art and fostering educational programs can be effective for NGO’S, they often fall short of covering the significant costs they face. By incorporating Bitcoin into their fundraising efforts, these organisations can enhance their financial resources and make a more impactful difference.
Moreover due to above inflationary developments, people donate less every year which is understandable as individuals are not interested in giving when they struggle to cope themselves.
As the Bitcoin technology is new and not always well understood, education and explanation is needed.
By bolstering financial and transactional security, Bitcoin contributes not only to the effectiveness of wildlife conservation efforts but also to the overall safety and well-being of the dedicated individuals working in challenging and dangerous environments.
With our financial expertise and knowledge of the Bitcoin technology, we have helped our local wildlife organisations in their process to understand and then adopt bitcoin.
To secure the future of wildlife ngo’s they need to to enhance fundraising efficiency and raise donations in BTC which are hodl’ed in a self-custody wallet, so the BTC appreciation can strengthen the fund for further initiatives.
We do this on a voluntary basis and do not receive any salary from our funding.
Our approach aims to ensure the long-term sustainability of ngo’s by advocating for the adoption of Bitcoin donations.
- Donations are stored in a self-custody wallet, allowing for the potential growth of Bitcoin’s value over time.
- This strategy enhances funds for future initiatives, particularly when inflation worldwide might cause traditional donations to fall short of covering costs.

- Projects who already accept Bitcoin donations are paid in Bitcoin to their wallet.
- Meanwhile the BTC in our wallet can appreciate to strengthen our fund for further initiatives.
In a following stage, we will also use the funds to create a bitcoin circular economy in the surrounding communities.
- To do this we have to educate local actors on bitcoin and pay them in bitcoin when they start educating others themselves.
