ONE AMAZON, a groundbreaking initiative, has received a significant boost with a $100 million commitment from Global Edge Worldwide Fund. This funding aims to transform rainforest conservation into a market-driven investment opportunity, leveraging cutting-edge technology and sustainable finance.
The Amazon Rainforest, a vital ecosystem producing 20% of the world’s oxygen and regulating global climate, faces increasing threats from deforestation. ONE AMAZON offers a new approach by utilizing the Internet of Forests™ (IoF™), a large-scale environmental intelligence network. This system enables real-time monitoring and monetization of the rainforest’s ecological value. With backing from key institutional partners, including PSG Digital, the initiative is poised to move from concept to implementation, ensuring the Amazon’s protection becomes both an environmental necessity and a long-term economic opportunity.
Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (GRRR) will be a key technology partner in this project, further reinforcing the initiative’s potential with AI-driven data intelligence and IoT solutions. It is also participating as a minority investor.
Jay Chandan, Chairman & CEO of Gorilla Technology, said, “The ONE AMAZON initiative is a financial and technological revolution. Our AI-powered analytics, real-time biodiversity tracking and blockchain-backed verification models are building the foundation of a new conservation economy, generating billions in economic value while ensuring the Amazon thrives for generations to come.”
Rodrigo Veloso, CEO of ONE AMAZON, emphasized the project’s potential: “By leveraging cutting-edge technology and innovative finance, we are turning the Amazon into a global asset that benefits both nature and humanity.”
Renato Costa, CEO of Global Edge Worldwide Fund, expressed enthusiasm for the project: “ONE AMAZON represents the future of environmental finance–a bold, scalable model that turns nature into a tangible, investable asset. Our $100 million commitment is not just an investment but a statement that the world’s natural capital must be protected and valued.”
PSG Digital will provide digital innovation and tokenization expertise as the Web 3 advisor to ONE AMAZON and will spearhead the development of blockchain-based systems, tokenized ecological securities, and decentralized platforms.
Paul Salama-Caro, Co-Founder and CIO of PSG Digital, stated: “We are bringing capital, blockchain, and datafication to nature-based assets in a truly groundbreaking way.”
The combined efforts of Global Edge Worldwide Fund, PSG Digital, and Gorilla Technology mark a significant moment in sustainable investment, demonstrating the viability of nature-backed finance.
