Each Bio-cultural Hub (BCHs) of the Sierra Nevada Corridor act as key biodiversity hotspots and "living seed storage," preserving and sharing biological resources and living knowledge along the corridor.
BCHs function as incubators and training grounds for future land stewards, offering education in rural social innovation, biodiversity conservation, and community-driven ecological regeneration, while providing access to key resources essential for long-term stewardship.
Each BCH is tasked with extending the corridor, by engaging with other BCHs and through collaborative work with key restoration projects and communities within their bioregion.
The INHABIT Stewardship NFT is a powerful tool designed to build and sustain the Corridor.
By purchasing the NFT, individuals become lifelong stewards of a specific Hub, gaining utility and stewardship rights over designated plots of land, allowing them actively participate in governance decisions that impact these vital ecosystems and many other benefits.
NFT funds are used to acquire degraded lands and turn them into Biodiversity Hotspots. Lands are safeguarded under the innovative INHABIT land tenure framework, a pioneering model of natural reserves which recognizes nature as a legal subject of rights, and takes land protection and stewardship to a new level.
