While the trending phenomenon of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have blown up the global art scene, The Corbett Foundation wanted to use NFTs for a meaningful purpose, raising awareness for TCF’s commitment to helping bengal tigers roam free across greater areas of land so they can repopulate and regenerate their numbers, in turn conserving the vast biodiversity of the nature reserves they inhabit.
Shockingly, there are only 2,967 bengal tigers left in India. Furthermore, one of the major concerns in tiger conservation, is the resources available to protect existing and create more tiger corridors that allow bengal tigers from different reserves to move between their habitats, keeping tiger gene pools diverse and the population strong. TCF and partners want this to change by the time the next Year of the Tiger comes around.
Tiger stripes are one-of-a-kind, 100% unique to each tiger, much like thumbprints. Thus, TCF and partners decided to use the original and distinctive tiger stripe patterns of real tigers from The TCF reserve, as inspiration to bring awareness to the continued efforts in regenerating the tiger population in India.
