This week, IUCN officially approved the Green List Standard, a global benchmark to improve nature conservation and biodiversity in protected areas. The Swiss PORINI Foundation and IUCN will now release the Green List Standard Token (GLS) to help link credible evaluation and verification of conservation success to a financing mechanism.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) has a new flagship Initiative, the Green List of Protected and Conserved Areas, a global Standard and certification Programme which aims to improve biodiversity in protected areas, such as national parks and nature reserves. IUCN is present in over 160 countries, and will be implementing the standard in more than 1,000 sites by 2020.

To keep track of the global success of the program, IUCN will develop a blockchain-enabled process, using an innovative technology that will give the possibility to all Token holders to participate and to see what has been achieved in real time.

The IUCN was pretty quick in seeing the potential of the blockchain for nature conservation. There is no doubt the blockchain will revolutionize nature conservation and that there is a lot of innovation waiting to be realized in this space. For those interested I found the link to the whitepaper: https://gls.porini.foundation/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/whitepaper_v1.1.2.pdf
