MEET LIVING PLACES

One idea. A living future.

Read the transcript

Living Places starts with a simple idea: caring for nature should support the people who protect it. We work with landowners and local communities to identify what makes their land special, from forests and remarkable trees to streams and wildlife habitat. Together, we develop a conservation agreement: what will be protected, how it will be cared for, and how funding will support that work. Then we connect the project with people and organizations who want to help. As funding becomes available, landowners receive payments under their agreements. Supporters can follow the work through photos, field updates, and clear financial reporting. For suitable projects, the next step is assessing a path toward independently verified carbon credits. This takes additional work and is never guaranteed, but it could provide another source of income to keep the land conserved for longer. We are starting in Colombia, with Jaguar Preserve as our founding pilot. Know someone with land they would like to protect, or someone who wants to support reforestation and conservation? Share Living Places with them. Help nature thrive. Support the people who care for it.

Our story, partners & transparency +
Our story

Every living place has someone who cares.

Living Places grew from two friends with a passion for preserving land. Started by Raven, an herbalist and biochemist, and Nuri, a biologist, the initiative connects people who want to protect nature with the people caring for it. Jaguar Preserve, near Santa Marta, Colombia, is our first project.

What Living Places does

The connection between support and care.

Living Places is the proposed platform. Each project keeps its own identity, location, budget and agreements. Amala Terravida, founded by Raven and Claudia, is the proposed Colombian operator; its legal details and authority remain to be verified.

01

For guardians and companies

Choose a project and understand what you will fund. Receive recognition and updates, with a personal connection to a tree, water source or habitat.

02

For people caring for land

Express interest, review rights and terms with us, and participate only under a funded agreement. Enrollment does not guarantee selection or payments.

03

Our responsibility

Organize projects, coordinate reviews and agreements, find support, administer payments and gather evidence. Our fee must be visible in every budget.

Our network

Working together for living places.

Conservation grows through relationships between people and organizations.

One standard for every project

Know what you support. Know where it goes.

Every project must show its commitment, funded period, budget and updates. Landowner information, team reviews and independent verification will be distinguished.

Processing and other costsNo hidden deductions

Real amounts will be set with the pilot budget. You do not need a crypto wallet. If we offer an NFT in the future, it will be optional: never required to support a project or receive payments. It will not grant land ownership or carbon offsets. Blockchain may add traceability; field evidence is still needed.

An additional service, if it makes sense

Conservation first. Carbon with care.

Initial carbon screening is part of the proposed service. Specialist development requires a separate optional agreement, clear costs and an assessment of what landowners would receive.

Rights review → feasibility → development agreement → validation and monitoring → verification → issuance, if approved → sale and distribution. Eligibility, credits, buyers and income are not guaranteed.

Guardian contributions support stewardship; they are not sold as carbon offsets.
