Crypto Altruism Podcast Episode 84 - OASA - Using Web3 to build for a regenerative future
In episode 84, we welcome Samuel Delesque, Founder of OASA, a Web3-powered nature conservancy network serving regenerative human living spaces and the planet. We discuss how they’re using Web3 tools, such as DAOs, to enable community-driven conservation and regeneration projects, the potential of DAOs to revolutionize locally driven democracies, how regenerative finance will help build a fairer and more sustainable world, and much more.
Three Key Takeaways
