Endangered animal NFTs: How to buy them<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Endangered animal species have grown to an alarming amount every year, and over the course of decades, quite a few go completely extinct. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a bid to preserve endangered animal life many interventions have been carried out and quite recently one of such motions is spearheaded by the WWF\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> and it deals with NFTs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These animals have gradually faded from existence by the act of poaching, hunting, loss of habitat, and man\u2019s harmful effect on the environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea to create NFTs relating to those animals was conceived by the WWF to generate enough money from the revenue of sales to conserve these animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NFT is an acronym for Non-fungible tokens<\/a>. They are special tokens that are imprinted on a blockchain, these tokens deal with graphical assets that may be from real life or a product of an artisan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NFTs include a wide range of content from art, pictures, memes, and so on, that can be traded over the crypto space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is special about NFT is that these assets are not tangible and have a unique certificate of ownership that reduces the risk of fraud and encourages transparency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this article, we will be referencing a section of these tokens monikered NFAs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are Non-fungible Animals (NFA)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Non-fungible animals (NFA)<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> is a name given by the WWF to a range of unique art collectibles that are created by well-renowned artists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These digital artworks depict various endangered species and are sold over the NFT spaces by the WWF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The uniqueness of these artworks besides it being created by professional artists lies in the fact that the supply of these collectibles is limited, the number of tokens available each represents an animal of that species, and the proceeds from the sale of that token go towards the maintenance of those animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WWF: Founders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> was founded in 1961. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a non-governmental organization that helps conserve natural resources and habitats.  They aim to preserve endangered species and impede humans' negative impact on the environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organization was founded by Julian Huxley, Prince Bernhard, Prince Philip, and other influential persons. The headquarters of the organization was first situated in Morges, Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WWF Campaign: How it all started<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The innovation for NFAs began last year in November, with the crypto market making waves as the new thing in town, the WWF decided to capitalize on the market to gain income to fund their cause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It started with WWF Germany partnering with artists to create digital art of 10 endangered species depicting a token for each animal left in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organization made about 280,000 dollars in sales from these artworks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was the initial campaign, the recent one is now driven by the WWF UK and lists new collectibles of NFTs to purchase with animals like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
