Our Mission

Non-profit organisations depend heavily on public donations to carry out their mission. For many conservation and community projects, keeping transaction costs low and ensuring fast access to funds is essential.

While initiatives such as merchandise sales, art projects, and educational programmes can provide additional support, they are often not enough to cover the growing operational costs faced by organisations working in challenging environments.

At the same time, inflation and rising living costs continue to reduce the ability of people to donate consistently — an understandable reality as many individuals are struggling financially themselves.

Conservation organisations need a funding system that is efficient, transparent, borderless, and capable of supporting long-term sustainability.

The Solution

Wildlife Conservation for the Long Term

Bitcoin offers a powerful alternative.

As a decentralised and borderless monetary network, Bitcoin enables fast, low-cost donations from anywhere in the world without relying on traditional banking systems. Its transparent public ledger increases accountability, while self-custody allows organisations to maintain sovereignty over their funds.

With a fixed supply and resistance to inflation, Bitcoin also provides a long-term store of value that can help strengthen the sustainability of conservation initiatives.

We choose to work exclusively with Bitcoin because it aligns with our core values of transparency, financial sovereignty, and long-term impact.

Why Bitcoin Get Involved

Bitcoin in the Wild is a non-profit initiative using Bitcoin to support wildlife conservation, environmental education, and community-driven projects across Africa.

We collaborate directly with trusted local partners to ensure donations create meaningful and lasting impact for wildlife, people, and the planet.

Beyond funding projects, we actively support conservation organisations in their transition toward Bitcoin and open financial systems.

All Bitcoin donations are made directly to our initiative and are held in self-custody as part of our long-term sustainability strategy.

In line with our mission and governance framework, we independently determine which conservation projects and partners receive support and when funds are allocated. We do not hold Bitcoin or other digital assets on behalf of third parties.

Where partner organisations are operationally able to receive Bitcoin directly, support may be provided to their designated wallets.

Where this is not yet possible, funds remain under the stewardship of the initiative until future allocation decisions are made in accordance with our mission.
