A decentralized science non-profit providing tools and technology for global conservation impact measurement. Collaborates with communities for data collection, analysis, and equitable resource distribution.

GainForest is a decentralized science non-profit that develops equitable nature tech to measure, support and evaluate global conservation.

We work together with communities and non-profit organizations on the ground to give them the tools they need to measure and prove the impact of their environmental efforts. Our products include bioacoustic analysis, remote sensing tools, and AI Assistants that help capture oral knowledge. Once the environmental data is input into our platform, we then produce environmental insights and metrics that can be used to visualize environmental impact.

Nature Guild: Splits Contract

Splits Contract

The Nature Guild uses splits contracts to fairly distribute donations among community members who protect and restore ecosystems. When a donation is received, the smart contract automatically allocates funds based on quarterly-adjusted weights that members set according to activity within the guild, measurable impact on nature projects, and needs-based factors. This creates transparent, efficient resource sharing while incentivizing active participation in environmental stewardship through a flexible and democratic weighting system.

Capacity Building

We work together with local communities to co-design environmental data collection and research.

Our "communities first" principle is demonstrated through our comprehensive capacity building program, which has already conducted 13 workshops across multiple countries.

In communities like Aldeia Inhaâ-bé, local leaders who initially participated in our workshops now conduct their own training sessions and lead technology implementation.

Measure-To-Earn

Only 1% of global biodiversity data comes from the world's largest rainforests. In addition to impact metrics and evaluation, we believe that we can create an additional sustainable income source for communities using decentralized data collection and research.

Measure-to-Earn

Values

We are science-driven, community-first, and believe in equitable nature technologies for all. All of our research and data collection is governed by a community-elected data council.
