🦁Overview
The BIG5 platform is a blockchain-based donation platform for the protection of endangered wildlife. Every year, the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) issues selected wild animals as NFTs and donates all the proceeds from the sale to wildlife conservation organizations.
First, rhinos, lions, elephants, tigers, and gorillas will be listed on the BIG5 list to start issuing NFTs, and later expand the scope of the target to endangered species including animals and plants. To this end, it will continue to establish partnerships with related organizations such as the Jewish African Association and develop and provide various contents and services centered on NFTs to contribute to wildlife conservation.
Currently, the earth is facing an emergency situation of human-induced climate change and biodiversity loss. Changes of land use is destroying or fragmenting the natural habitats of many plants and animals on land, freshwater, and ocean around the world, and the number of endangered species continues to grow.
Preventing the extinction of wildlife and protecting them requires international cooperation and sustained efforts to protect endangered wildlife and their habitats. Regulations restricting indiscriminate development and human activities should be strengthened, and countries should work together to crack down on the illegal trade in endangered animals, including illegal hunting, harvesting and sale of wildlife and related products, and work to restore damaged wildlife habitats.
What is needed to protect endangered wildlife is continued financial support. This can be done through a variety of channels, including governments, corporations, non-profit organizations (NPOs), and individuals. Non-profit organizations can secure the funds they need through a variety of methods, including solicitation of donations, holding events, and crowdfunding.
The BIG5 project has built the blockchain-based donation platform BIG5 to raise much-needed funds to protect endangered wildlife and their habitats. Through a donation platform that combines NFT and blockchain technology, we aim to secure the reliability of the use of donations, such as the collection and execution process of donations to protect endangered wildlife and ensure transparency and fairness in all processes.
The BIG5 platform creates a circular ecosystem by issuing BIG5 NFTs, which will be an important medium for collecting donations, and allowing users to purchase them with BIG5 tokens, the platform's key currency. To this end, the BIG5 platform operates the largest number of NFT-related DApps and utilizes the Ethereum network, which is highly scalable and compatible with other networks.
The BIG5 platform operates an NFT marketplace in conjunction with an external wallet service that uses the Ethereum network at the beginning of the service. After the stabilization and advancement of the platform and services, the company plans to expand its services and business areas by developing its own wallet services, NFT marketplaces, and goods sales malls.
