Nature Collectibles App Client: Porini Foundation Technology: Hedera, NFT, Flutter The Nature Collectibles app is a fun way to donate to nature conservation. Unique fundraising for the protection of endangered species. Digital collectible cards of endangered species can be bought as Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs). The proceeds benefit the respective nature reserves in which the respective animal species occurs. Donate in a playful way to nature and species conserving causes The Porini Foundation, a Swiss-based foundation that develops climate and nature conservation projects based on innovative technologies, has launched the Nature Collectibles app for this purpose. In it, digital collectible cards, the "Nature Collectibles" of endangered species from different nature reserves around the world can be purchased. The collectibles are Non Fungible Tokens, or NFTs for short, which guarantees that the buyer has the only validated copy of the collectible. The proceeds of an initial purchase of a Nature Collectible will benefit the respective nature reserves. In case of resales, a part of the sales price will be donated again, thus establishing a continuous flow of donations for nature and species conservation. The collectible cards can be continuously expanded to include additional animal species and nature reserves. A scalable solution that allows the community to grow and keeps collecting interesting.

7. About Porini Foundation
The Porini Foundation, a Swiss-based foundation that develops climate and nature
conservation projects based on innovative technologies, has launched the Nature
Collectibles app for this purpose.
They are working with experts, companies and organizations to foster innovative
technologies, like a zero-carbon blockchain, which will play a major role for
sustainable use of this emerging technology.

8. What is the Problem to be solved?
Money flows for nature impact
investment are insufficient, lack
transparency and are often reduced
through third parties' intermediaries.
Investment into biodiversity assets are
difficult to monetize.

9. What is the Goal behind the Project?
Financial support for nature reserves
worldwide to support the wild life and their
habitat that are threatened with extinction.
With Nature Collectibles, you can choose
which species, protected area, or
conservation actor you want to support. You
learn about these species, earn badges and
when the collection is full, you can resell your
cards and share your proceeds with the
conservation actor.
The amount of every sold card in the first
place is going with 100% share to the nature
conservation actor.

10. About the Nature Collectibles App
The Nature Collectibles app is a fun way to
donate to nature conservation, you even
get a donation card for it.
The digital collectible cards of endangered
species from different nature reserves
around the world can be purchased.
The collectibles are Non Fungible Tokens,
or NFTs for short, which guarantees that
the buyer has the only validated copy of
the collectible.

12. Use of new Technologies but Focus on UX
The Nature Collectibles app is a simple way to
get involved in conservation and receive value
in return in the form of a unique digital trading
card. Central to this is the ease of set-up: no prior
technical knowledge is required to set up the app
and purchase the collectible cards.
Often, access to blockchain-based solutions or
NFTs is rather complicated and reserved for
technology-savvy individuals. With Nature
Collectibles, this access becomes simple and thus
an even greater and important contribution to
nature conservation is made.

13. Solution Approach
Protected areas are crucial for the survival of
species and an important point in the fight for
biodiversity and against climate change.
However, conservation actors working in this
field still struggle to obtain funding, and many
good-working people and successful projects go
unnoticed and without funding.
Gamification approach with the incentive to
collect individual Nature Collectibles (NFTs)
and collections in different classes to earn
badges.
12/2022

14. Solution Approach
Together with their partners, the IUCN Green
List and the HBAR Foundation, they have shown
the world's first collection in Kigali, which
includes 8 endangered species living in
protected or sheltered areas on 6 continents,
and have now added the Madagascar collection
and the Peru collection, each of which includes
8 rare species living in hidden places.
All species are on the IUCN Red List of
Threatened Species and are protected by
selected conservation stakeholders.

15. The same NFT will generate value many times
12/2022

What happens if a card is sold out? The secondary market kicks in!

16. Some Theory: What are the Characteristics of Non-
Fungible Tokens?
Non-Fungible Token (NFT) is a "non-exchangeable"
digital asset, where "non-exchangeable" in this
context only means that it is a unique digital asset
that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for another.
Non-Fungible Tokens could be compared to art
objects like paintings, which have an individual
value. When you exchange art objects for each
other, you usually don't get the same value that you
pass on. To make it rare the NFTs often exist only
once or a few times.
It is important that the NFTs contain information
that proves their uniqueness. This way, the
respective owner can always be traced back and
make a claim.
12/2022
block.studio

17. Some Theory: NFT vs. Fungible Tokens?
Compared to non-fungible tokens, a fungible token is a
representation of an asset on a blockchain that is
exchangeable. In the analog world, we can use gold as a
good example of a fungible token because the value of a
gram of gold has the same value anywhere in the world. It
doesn't matter which piece of gold I own, it has the same
value as another piece of gold (of the same weight)
owned by someone else.
Cryptocurrencies are the best example of fungible
tokens, because every coin of the same currency has the
same value as every other coin at any given time.

18. Some Theory: What is and why we used Hedera?
The main reason for choosing Hedera is the energy efficiency of the chain.
Besides this, another reason positive aspect of Hedera is that there are already more
than 600,000 existing users by now.
Last but not least, Hedera has promised support in terms of marketing and technical
issues.
The Hedera proof-of-stake public network, powered by hashgraph consensus,
achieves high-grade of security with blazing-fast transaction speeds and incredibly
low bandwidth consumption.

19. Some Theory: Blockchain Trilemma

block.studio

20. Some Theory: What is the Hashgraph consensus?
12/2022
block.studio
Technically: the data structure used is simply different.
Blockchain is linear per se, block by block by block etc.
Hashgraph uses a so-called "Directed Acyclic Graph“.
Hedera Hashgraph is a DLT but not a blockchain. DLT is
the superset and blockchain as well as Hashgraph is a
subset of it.

The Singapore-based start-up MNTD. has set
itself the goal of making the hotspots directly
available to end customers instead of using
distributors and thus delivering them quickly

foundation" of the People's Network directly to
people, instead of using long and expensive
supply chains.
We have been working with MNTD. since RAK
Wireless planned to launch this direct-to-
consumer brand and to launch the brand
