In a time of environmental uncertainty, PlantGang aims to immortalise rare moments of biodiversity within its scientific 3D models whilst helping conserve IRL ecosystems through community funded research and conservation projects.

We strive to create a new era for open academic research not limited by economical or geographic backgrounds, while supporting environmental climates through regenerative economics powered by collectible 3D-model sales.

The project tackles climate problems by...
-Preserving rare and endangered global specimens within 3D models. Crucially, this decentralized preservation and 'future proofing' of natural specimens and scientific data occurs on a decentralised storage network (IPFS).
-Creating a tradition of hyper-local conservation & research by funding local scanners with revenue from open collectible 3D model sales. Importantly for the environment, funding is driven back to communities who understand their local environments and want to protect and live harmoniously with them.
-Beyond this, a percentage of sale revenue is collected in a treasury for conservation projects which are selected via community voting. This funding will directly go to projects that are helping reduce GHGs.
-Finally, at the basic level we use digital assets to inspire engagement with nature IRL, pushing climate awareness and understanding.
