The Association for the Conservation of Threatened Parrots e.V. (ACTP) is poaching Spix’s Macaws in Brazil. The special thing: The fundraising project Unextinct started on the day the parrots were released. Funds are collected for the project via NFT. The animal photographer Tim Flach created high-concept animal photos of the birds, which can be purchased securitised as NFT. Spix’s Macaws, considered the national animal of Brazil, have long been extinct in the wild. With the help of donations and now also through the fundraising project, money is being raised to enable the reintroduction of the species into Brazil’s forests. This will pay for reintroduction stations, keepers, forest plots and much more. Since 11 June 2022, there are now eight parrots in the wild again. The NFT’s income thus benefits species conservation.
