Accelerating RECOVER: A Web3 Platform to Incentivize the Reporting of Wildlife Trafficking
RECOVER, a nature-positive venture led by Steven Galster, is creating a web3 platform to incentivize and make it easy for organizations across the global End Pandemics Alliance to share data around illicit wildlife trafficking activities and then partake in the governmental restitution (payment) when traffickers are brought to justice and their assets liquidated. Like this example from March 2021 when $11M USD was seized thanks to Steven and his organization Freeland.org
Please join this facilitated session to explore how we might come together to accelerate the success of RECOVER.
The Session
We are bringing together technologists, designers, restitution policymakers, innovative thinkers, researchers, and investors to contribute to RECOVER. The event will weave together the room’s collective genius with big-hearted, playful facilitation, open-minded collaboration, and a bias toward action and creation.
After an introduction to the RECOVER solution by EndPandemic's co-chair Steven Galster - we’ll co-creatively envision the business and partnership model for this web3 data sharing fintech platform.
What would a RECOVER bond look like that could capitalize this ecosystem?
What will be most attractive to early capital?
How might contributions and capital flows be made transparent via tokens & NFTs?
Who might be long-term partners?
