The Solarcube it's a Sunbox version with small baler inside.

We have integrated a giant LED screen to communicate with our users about the recycling of the bottles, which they put in the Solarcube. It informs about the importance of recycling and the bottle to bottle process.

Thanks to the 4G modem card in the Solarcube, we can remotely manage all the photos and videos displayed on this screen

It is important to offer communication spaces to the different partners linked to the Solarcube so that they can spread their environmental message and the reasons why they are partners

The Solarcube is 100% autonomous via solar energy, we have been forced to limit the hours of diffusion of the LED screen because it consumes a lot of electricity and this poses a problem because the batteries, in the evening can no longer recharge without the contribution of the sun. It is necessary to limit the hours of diffusion according to the sunshine and the place of exploitation.

In order to limit the handling of the collected bottles as much as possible, we have integrated a double compaction system in the Sunbox with contaienr beetween 11 to 20 cubic meter.

It's important to adjust the compaction power correctly according to the recyclable elements collected and to place the sensors in an efficient way to automate the compaction cycles.

In view of the large collection of bottles, some of which are colored, we are thinking about a solution to split the storage box into 2 parts to have 2 different flows of plastic. On the right of transparent plastic and on the left colored plastic.

Implementación de estrategias para fortalecer la conservación y la salud de vicuñas y de su hábitat

Vicuñas dentro del corral de captura en el área protegida Apolobamba

Omar Torrico WCS

A partir de la coordinación multisectorial, las comunidades realizan el registro de sarna durante los censos poblacionales y en las capturas para esquila y liberación, en formularios oficiales de la autoridad en biodiversidad nacional. Se espera que el área protegida implemente el uso de indicadores ecológicos y epidemiológicos para la mejor toma de decisiones de conservación. Los ganaderos locales reciben capacitaciones en manejo sanitario y productivo de alpacas coadyuvando a mejorar la salud del ganado y a disminuir el potencial de transmisión de enfermedades. Finalmente, a través del Grupo Interinstitucional de Trabajo en “Oro Responsable” se realizan escuelas de campo piloto para aplicar las mejores prácticas, técnicas sociales y ambientales disponibles, que permitan mitigar el impacto de la minería aurífera en las comunidades.

- Se desarrollaron participativamente con las comunidades locales y autoridades cinco instrumentos técnicos para la gestión y toma de decisiones por la Asociación de Comunidades manejadoras de Vicuñas de Apolobamba, el área protegida de Apolobamba.

- Se realizaron acuerdos de buena voluntad entre mineros auríferos locales, comunidades manejadoras de vicuñas, autoridades originarias y el área protegida, para la conservación de las vicuñas y del hábitat. Esto debido al impacto de la minería sobre los bofedales y pastizales y por el uso de mercurio.

- Los instrumentos desarrollados en conjunto con las comunidades locales y la ACOFIVB les permiten realizar una mejor gestión de sus actividades y en conjunto con el área protegida de Apolobamba y también son de utilidad para las demás asociaciones manejadoras de vicuñas en Bolivia.

- Aunque se ha involucrado a cooperativas mineras legales en la conservación de la especie y de su hábitat, existen otras numerosas actividades mineras ilegales que representan un nuevo reto para la gestión del área protegida y de las comunidades locales para la conservación y la salud de las vicuñas y otros animales silvestres, de los animales domésticos, de los humanos y del paisaje en su conjunto.

Earn your badge

Porini Foundation

Once you collected 8 different species in a collection, you will receive a badge for your achievement.

Badges are a playful way to motivate the collector to finalize his collection and donate money to the PCA.

Playing is a very powerfull way to get to know conservation work.

Transparency

Blockchain has build in transparency

Porini Foundation

Blockchain allows immediate transactions and to "follow your money". We can therefore show/proof the percentage of donations actually arriving at the PCA.

We implemented a link to the PCA wallet where collectors can see how their money is added in real time to the PCA wallet in possession of the Conservation actor. To do this, we use a zero-carbon blockchain ito allow the transfer of Nature Collectibles and other assets around the world.

Transparency is always asked for, and with blockchain, we have a easy way to show the transfers from the collector to the PCA.

Rangers Voice

Rangers Voice from Colombia

Porini Foundation

Using a mobile Application allows us to present informations directly to the user and we invited a person to present their conservation work, a real "voice" from the protected or conserved area.

The ranger's willingness to be interviewed to illustrate the conservation work in the PCA.

Having a "face" and a direct "voice" from a person involved in the conservation work is very informative and allows a better bindig to the PCA and the work done for conservation.

Mobile Application

EDU to Diamond edition

Porini Foundation

We developed a user-friendly mobile application which can be downloaded over the official stores. People can now save endangered species by buying a digital token

Building a zero-carbon blockchain allowed us to lauch NCs in a sustainable way nand to make these digital twins globally tradeable.

A mobile app allows us to present a custom interface which is easy to use and to hide our technology behind it. Everybody "knows" mobile Apps ;-)

Community co-design and engagement

Local community

Tech4Nature Mexico

The engagement of local leaders was integral from the project's inception, entrusting them with the characterization and selection of sampling and monitoring sites. Their insights and requirements were actively incorporated into the project's analysis. Timely presentation of results, widespread dissemination of their work and expertise, and inclusion in working meetings were paramount.

The Ministry of Sustainable Development from Yucatan has been engaging and working with the local communities living in and around the Reserve for several years, ensuring cross-pollination of knowledge, good governance and justice.

Moreover, the C Minds' AI for Climate initiative established a robust four-year collaboration with the Yucatan government, essential local stakeholders representing academia, innovation, and civil society sectors.

The comprehensive involvement of the local community across all project stages, encompassing design, deployment, data collection, and analysis, emerged as a pivotal and indispensable factor contributing to the project's successful implementation and the acquisition of valuable biodiversity information within the reserve.

Monetarisation of Biodiversity assets

Kigali Collection

Porini Foundation

Nature Collectibles are digital twins of real world species and allow the monetarisation of biodiversity assets over a net zero-carbon bockchain

The ease of collecting and trading NatureCollectibels, the digital twin of a species in a specific area, which allows real biodiversity assets to be monetarised.

Monetarising nature assets is a difficult issue but digital representations on blockchain are a simple way to generate funding for protected and conserved areas

Evidence through research

Pathogen and disease detection under the PREDICT and PREDICT-2 projects as well as other research initiatives have generated a strong evidence base on the drivers of zoonotic diseases. In Liberia, the finding of Ebola virus antibodies in a bat provided evidence that Ebola is circulating in wildlife in the West Africa region and signaled that there are ongoing spillover risks requiring public health attention.

Involvement and partnership of international and national institutions ensured best practices in research activities. The National Public Health Institute provided important leadership to support outreach on the significance of the Ebola finding. Another key factor was the model practices demonstrated by the sampling team, involving safe handling and sampling and attention to animal welfare, which itself helped to increased awareness of these aspects by observant communities.

In the past, communities in Liberia have distrusted foreign researchers and do not typically have direct access to the findings from research activities. Communities were aware of the sampling activities around their villages; by seeing Liberian scientists involved in this work with their own eyes, they were more receptive to the findings.
