SNI aligns with the Climate Solutions Round eligibility criteria by focusing on nature-based and ocean-based solutions, crucial categories recognized by CCN. Our project leverages blockchain technology to fund and track impactful biodiversity conservation efforts, directly contributing to climate solutions by enhancing carbon sequestration and fostering ecosystem resilience.

**Climate Impact and GHG Reduction:**
Our approach directly addresses climate change by restoring and protecting ecosystems that are vital for carbon sequestration. Through our partnerships with ecological stewards, we support projects aimed at:

**Reforesting and restoring habitats:** Areas restored serve as significant carbon sinks, absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. 
**Protecting key species:** By maintaining populations of species like cetaceans, we indirectly support the health of marine ecosystems, which play a crucial role in carbon cycling and sequestration. Whales, for example, contribute to carbon sequestration through their iron-rich faecal plumes, which stimulate phytoplankton growth.
