We are creating incentives streams for mapping ancient trees, thus planting a seed for them to have a living value within the economy, while also growing branches of incentives for nurturing their genetic in tree nursery's, with a comprehensive vision for propagating these to grow forest corridors globally, along with community seed libraries weaving with online and offline plant wisdom sharing circles. The long term vision also includes capturing the deeper data around the cycles of the trees, such as the timing of spring blossoms, first leaves, fruits and mast years. The hypothesis being the amalgamation of this data on a large scale over a longer time period could be analysed to predict traumatic earth events such as floods and droughts - thus being able to take life saving actions earlier than is no possible. We also intend to build a data publishing and curation network around the mapped trees giving all data within the network a tree as an origin point, with various scales from hyper local individual tree ‘living books ‘through species up to the total ‘tree of life book’ being woven by the total network. This publishing network intends to further incentivise the preservation of these ancient trees which can potentially live up to 5000 years, by tagging personal data such as family members we wish to remember, with the community seed libraries (pods) also functioning as a distributed cloud network for pressuring the data. The hope is we can pioneer this game in Europe, with Scotlands right to roam laws being an easy test ground and then present this to communities living in the lungs of the world, the Amazon and Congo Rainforests - Its easy to say don’t chop down the trees from a screen in Europe, but if your hungry and need money or fuel to cook with the reality is not as simple. By offering a financial incentive to become a living guardian of these trees we hope to offer an alternative solution that we can all get behind that is a win for the whole planet.
