Let’s talk Dugongs:


Problem Statement 🧐


What’s the problem?

We seek to give digital identity to dugong herds and thereby allow information and money to cross the species divide. We will use the grant money to design and launch NFTs which are embedded with the first parts of Interspecies governance. These NFTs will finance a DAO charged with building an oracle - a collection of hardware and software solutions - which will allow local communities to be paid for observing and protecting dugong herds.

Nature-Based Proposal 📑


Our approach:

We have developed the idea of Interspecies Money, gathered together the leading dugong scientists and conservationists, identified communities in Thailand and Palau we will work with, and we have overseen the development of relevant AI. Additionally, we have leading contemporary artists for the NFTs and the prospect of a large NFT sale.

This project gives digital identity to endangered dugong herds. So far the Dugong DAO is pursuing another grant proposal.
