Our goal is to empower communities to control their future and make environmental regeneration financially viable in the global south.**\n\n*Ecosystem services like clean air, fresh water, and flood mitigation are essential to life. But who pays for them, and how ?* \n**At ostrom, we're pioneering a new approach to make fungible nature market solutions.** \n\n- Our Methodology disaggregates Ecosystem services and assigns unique valuation techniques to them. \n- This approach enables communities, project developers, and companies to unlock new revenue streams and invest in nature based solutions. \n*Over-time, we see ostrom being the mechanism that fixes the \"leaky\" carbon project cycle. A cycle where value is lost at numerous points over time. By coevolving our methodology with tested DMRV; we are developing robust standards for tracking ecosystem value. Stacked with Carbon credits, ostrom will unlock the full potential of nature-based solutions to address climate change.*\n![Ecosystem Services](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FtVKfW4XsAEWVdj?format=jpg&name=4096x4096)\n\n---\n\n# WHAT WE HAVE BUILT SO FAR [2023]\n\n\ud83d\udcab\u00a0Built an **awesome team** of talented Environmentalists and Developers\n\n\ud83d\udccd\u00a0Located an ideal site for our **Pilot Project**\n\n\u2728 Built a **partnership with a local community** group in our Project Area ([KECC](https://m.facebook.com/people/Kamukunji-environment-conservation-champions/100068027266967/))\n\n\ud83d\udcdd Started developing our **methodology and data collection process**\n\n\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f **Gathered over 600 unique data points** for ecosystem assets in partnership with the community\n\n\ud83c\udfb0 Conducted **satellite imagery analysis** for our Project Area to build a baseline\n\n\ud83d\udd0e **Surveyed over 200 participants** to understand the \u201cPerceived value\u201d of ecosystem assets\n\n\ud83c\udf43 **Disaggregated all Ecosystem Services** on-site into small, measurable units\n\n![Community Engagement 1](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FtVKrcrWAAMGgnP?format=jpg&name=900x900)\n---\n\n# WHY OSTROM?\n\n\ud83c\udf33 **Capture and tap into Ecosystem Value**, a previously undervalued asset class\n\n\ud83d\udcd0 Provides a more **reliable metric to measure impact** than just Carbon\n\n\ud83d\udcb5 **Delivers value directly to communities** working on the ground\n\n\ud83d\udca8 **Reduces carbon emissions** while providing financial support to those responsible for it\n\n\ud83d\udc1e **Scalable methodology** that works across geographies and ecological conditions\n\n\ud83e\uddec Ecosystem Markets are poised to become the **new standard in the near future**\n\n\ud83d\udc6b Creates **impact for Low-Income Steward communities in the Global South**\n![Leaky Cycle](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FtVK3bOWAAEksi_?format=jpg&name=medium)\n---\n\n# WHAT WE WANT TO BUILD [NOW]\n\n\ud83c\udf0d Take our **pilot to the next phase** by starting regeneration work on the ground.\n\n\ud83d\ude85 **Build our tech stack** to facilitate the conversion of DMRV \u21d2 Ecosystem Tokens\n\n\ud83e\ude99 **Build a DAO for our partner community** to receive payments for their regeneration efforts\n\n\ud83e\udd1d **Build partnerships with other Project Developers** to decentralize regeneration\n\n\ud83c\udfed **Locate industry buyers** for our ecosystem tokens\n\n![KECC](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FtVLXoQXsAAxDo0?format=jpg&name=medium)\n---\n\n# THE TEAM\n\nWe are a team of Environmentalists, Planners and Engineers, located in different parts of the world.
