"With the rising value of cryptocurrencies and their increasing acceptance in mainstream financial transactions, they represent a future-focused investmentmuch like Rainforest Rescue's projects."
That's how Kristina Wall, fundraising manager at the Australian nonprofit, describes cryptocurrencies as a "forward-looking investment, very similar to our own projects, which is why I believe it aligns so well with our mission."
That mission is to protect Australia's Daintree rainforest, one of the world's most ancient, with its own "deep-time lineage to the beginnings of flowering plants, which are still flourishing in the area but only found in the fossil record in other parts of the world," per a press release.
So far, Rainforest Rescue has received more than $220,000 in cryptocurrency donations, "critical" in the purchase of unprotected areas for protection and restoration.
