Disclaimer: The analysis of this use case was carried out based on the information provided by Walid Al Saqqaf and Tony Vernall of Rebalance Earth in a series of interviews, in which they helped me understand the token system they are planning to implement. The system outlined here is still a work in progress. Project implementation depends on the political goodwill of the participating government actors. Details might change before the system reaches the implementation stage. The elephant use case analyzed in this chapter is only one of a range of initiatives designed by Rebalance Earth. Other Rebalance Earth projects, which are also being conceptualized and prepared to be conducted across the globe, will have alternative mechanisms adapted to the particular needs of the respective ecosystem, i.e. the species affected and the humans protecting the species.
