Guardians of Earth

Guardians of Earth is a technology company that has developed a gamified platform to foster a deeper connection between people and the natural world. The platform's core consists of real-world adventure games, such as Spirits of the Realms, which builds upon the original QuestaGame. Through these games, players, referred to as Explorers, document biodiversity by photographing and identifying species, thereby contributing valuable data for biodiversity research and conservation efforts. The business model appears to be centered around a free-to-play mobile game with web3 and potential in-app purchase features, where users can invest in and collect virtual items. A portion of revenue is shared as rewards with users who actively map nature, share knowledge, and validate data, while the remainder supports the company's operations.

The company leverages technologies such as AI, AR, and geo-location to create market incentives that redirect attention toward nature. The founding team has a diverse international background with expertise in ecology, collective intelligence, indigenous knowledge systems, science communication, gaming, and species taxonomy. The platform also includes 'Nature Realms,' which are digital versions of real-world locations, and 'The Oracle of Life,' a knowledge-sharing community where players can interact with experts.
