Porini Foundation is a Swiss-based non-profit organization dedicated to funding nature conservation through blockchain-based digital collectibles. Its flagship product, Nature Collectibles, lets users purchase unique NFTCs (NFTs for Conservation) starting at around 10 Swiss Francs, each representing a species from a protected or conserved area; 100% of the purchase price is directed to conservation of that area, with the Foundation absorbing all transaction fees. Collectors use a net-zero Hedera blockchain wallet to hold cards, can complete themed collections of eight cards to earn badges (Diamond, Gold, Silver, Bronze, or EDU/Standard and Mixed collections), and may resell collectibles on a secondary market, sharing proceeds with conservation actors. The organization works with IUCN, whose Green List certifies effective management of protected and conserved areas, and provides transparency by letting users track fund transfers on-chain via Porini Conservation Tokens (1 PCT ≈ 1 Swiss Franc). Users of the Nature Collectibles app and clients purchasing collectibles are typically individuals interested in supporting biodiversity conservation through gamified, blockchain-verified giving.
