How it benefits NEAR community? a socially important charitable project to consolidate the image of NEAR as a carbon-neutral system, popularization of NFT in the community of eco-activists.
Together with the artist vladimir_selivonchik.near, we want to create a charity project to support forests on our planet.
one of the artist’s works (for example, it is not a sketch of this project)
Collection description:
These will be mini-collections of 6 types of NFTs, which will be combined into one pano.
Each of the NFT types will have 100 variations, with elements of generative art.
Having collected 6 unique NFTs, it will be possible to fold them into one unique pano.
Each mini-collection is dedicated to different types of forests (evergreen equatorial, tropical, midland, coniferous)
The theme for the first collection is “Deciduous Forests”.
We chose this topic because this type of forest is common in Belarus (our DAO and an artist from this country), as well as in the European Union, the USA and Canada, China and Japan (the main countries in which the target audience of our project lives.)
The plot of the large pano will represent the forest as a single living breathing organism.
Plots of individual NFTs will contain images of forest spirits, animals, plants characteristic of this type of forest.
About Artist
Vladimir Selivonchik is the author of illustrations that are already a part of our life on the web and we can come across them almost every day and not realize it. He is one of the illustrators of the most successful stock studio in the world at the moment, Goodstudio.
The forests support project will have a good impact on the positive image of NEAR-Protocol, proving in practice its focus on environmental care.
From carbon neutral to carbon negative.)
Most of the proceeds will go to forest protection funds.
This is a project with great media coverage potential.
We would welcome information and support from the NEAR ecosystem if possible.
We plan to send out information on the following media:
- design groups in telegram and Facebook.
- in eco-communities.
- local Belarusian news sites and groups
- news channels dedicated to NFT.
We plan to agree on cooperation with the “Open Forest Protocol” and help expand the scope of their activities
