Wild Diaries 2: Meet the Wildchain team!
Meet the team behind Wildchain
We want to show you the amazing people behind Wildchain who created everything, from the concept and designs to developing our cozy mobile game and climate action tools!
The motivations behind Wildchain…
According to WWFs Living Planet Report we‘ve lost almost 70% of the global wildlife populations since 1970. A global report by IPBES also states that in the next decade, up to 1 million species could be lost, representing 95% of our planet’s biodiversity. This was a huge wake-up call for our founders, who felt a strong motivation to do something about this huge biodiversity crisis before it was too late.
To avoid this, it’s crucial to protect 30% of the planet by 2030 (the global deal for nature). However, conservation projects are dramatically underfunded. We need to scale up conservation funding because traditional fundraising methods, such as governmental grants and donations, are not enough. According to a United Nations report, an additional 300–400 billion dollars per year is needed. That’s why we need new fundraising approaches to increase funding for conservation.
We conducted a strategic search for markets that could be leveraged to generate funds for conservation and identified the huge gaming market. There are 2.2 billion mobile gamers worldwide, and our focus is on the $24bn casual mobile games market. Of course, we can’t fill the entire fundraising gap, but by tapping into this market, we aim to raise significant funds for conservation while also raising awareness for a large audience.
At Wildchain, we are gamifying conservation. We’re mobilizing gamers, NFT collectors, and Wildlife lovers to become virtual conservationists to join the fight against species extinction and climate change on a global scale in a game.
We are also proud to have a globally diverse, multi-cultural team here at Wildchain, with colleagues from South and South East Asia, South America, Europe, and Africa.
Within the tech and game industry, there is a huge gender imbalance; only 22% of employees in this industry are women. We believe it is essential to have an equal gender balance in the workplace, especially as 46% of gamers identify as female. At Wildchain, 6/16 (37.5%) team members are women, which is exceptionally high in the tech and game industry.
