This budget prescribes species and location-specific methodologies which release milestone-based rewards to incentivize ecologically optimized and climate-adapted tree planting and stewardship. TreeForwards effectively collateralize the net present value of New Trees. Further, we strive to make TreeForwards as low risk instruments as possible by making them performance-based payouts depended on verifiable milestones and define the unit economics of reforestation\n[![Screenshot-2024-04-11-at-11-37-51-PM.png](https://i.postimg.cc/zvghczng/Screenshot-2024-04-11-at-11-37-51-PM.png)](https://postimg.cc/sG31BRHj)\n\n\n\ud83d\udccd\ud83d\udd2d **MRV** - The [Silvi App](https://app.silvi.earth), a Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) tool is now in open beta and used to create reforestation impact claims.

Our efforts to develop an open source, comprehensive database of tree knowledge are coming along well. \n\nTreekipedia is launching by first combining existing and fragmented datasets into one comprehensive taxonomy and list of tree species to serve as the foundation of an extensive ontology. This ontology and tree knowledge graph will connect tree species with key characteristics, images, stewardship best practices, relevant modeling methods, geographic occurrences, bioregional aptitude, and more.\n[![Screenshot-2024-08-05-at-7-59-15-PM.png](https://i.postimg.cc/FsSxYqLw/Screenshot-2024-08-05-at-7-59-15-PM.png)](https://postimg.cc/qzkKY1QG)\nSo far, we have:\n* Hired a post-doctorate ecologist\n* Developed a prototype [taxonomic schema](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gyox46GXNOs_X6UmbcVrjOTh8q4BbcSaTycJPWeKknY/edit?usp=sharing)\n* Compiled a list of source 10+ species databases including GBIF, iNaturalist, BGCI, etc.\n* Created a data retrieval and filtering strategy using R Studio\n\nNext steps:\n* Finish compiling and filtering species and occurrence data\n* Finalize and release the open source schema & ontology \n* Build useful features such as tree values based on OneEarth ecoregions\n* Develop UI and open source contributor process (similar to Wikipedia)\n\nThere are still key questions we\u2019re working through, and it\u2019s important to note that Treekipedia will be ever evolving. If you want to be a part of the process reach out to @metafarmer on Telegram\n\n\n\ud83d\udcd2\ud83e\uddee **Batch Accounting**: Silvi's robust batch accounting system efficiently manages groupings of TreeForwards, ensuring that each tree within a batch receives its requisite funding and care. This feature enhances scalability, ensuring large-scale reforestation initiatives with area based accounting are as meticulously managed as individual trees as well as for pre-planting propagation and logistics.\n \n\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f \ud83e\uddfa**Portfolio Management**: Embodying the democratization of reforestation, we believe that global efforts should be cohesively managed and brokered and we're growing a portfolio of impact across various forest and projects worldwide. Our goal is to operate this portfolio via a DAO structure after we launch a token\n\nFurther, we're collaborating with Orgs such as \ud83c\udf3b Ecotech, dMeter, Regen Network, Filecoin, Hypercerts, ReFiDAO. Further, we'd like to collaborate and interop with other projects and technologies on techniques for statistical sampling of ground truth as well as remote sensing inference. And ultimately, we'd like to vertically integrate with carbon/ecocredit certifying projects, particularly through the lens of Ecological Benefits Framework. \n \n**Tokenomics:**\nOur long term plans involve launching a native governance token issued through tree commitments. Governance tokens will spawn utility NFT pairs that contain all the data and contracts for each tree.\n\n**Pilots:**\nTo date, Silvi has already deployed several pilots with the most recent being OperationWebTree involving 18 implementation partners. [Check out our reel by RefiMiami/GreenpillMiami](https://x.com/ReFiMiami/status/1759296369242599596?s=20)\n\n\nHowever, Silvi's biggest focus is currently [in Kenya](https://medium.com/@silvitree/introducing-silvi-the-tree-steward-platform-eb30fe9a2644), where it is connecting communities such as schools and small holder farmers to Kenya's last rainforest, Kakamega forest. Silvi is building a methodology to help establish small, distributed nursery beds around the forest with the goal of improving supply of saplings.  \n[![Screenshot-2024-04-12-at-12-07-46-AM.png](https://i.postimg.cc/yxMKb8zy/Screenshot-2024-04-12-at-12-07-46-AM.png)](https://postimg.cc/D4PRWF0S)\nWith the help of Gitcoin funding, Silvi has established operations in dozens of schools and nurserie, onboarded 300+ users and propagated 150k+ trees in Kenya. Our largest project is in Kakamega Forest, which is in close conversation with the Forestry services and the Forest-run nurseries. Silvi is helping expand capacity of reforestation via its theory of change that a greater number of independent nurseries run by community members via a participatory model will help increase capacity and coordination. Silvi is close to being assigned an exclusive area for planting and forest management where our MRV and methodology will be put to the test over the following years.\n\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "SilviProtocol", "projectTwitter": "SilviProtocol"}, "recipient": "0xa7CA400d49BBa87EB606ee05af93689BD21FaB99"}}
