WE WANT TO DISCUSS:

1. The gamification of citizen-led, science data collection in mobile phone app ‘Questagame’ is providing Earth Guardians to help scientists map damage and aftermath in the Australian Bushfire crisis and other disasters around the world.
2. No-one knows the actual biodiversity that is located here in Australia and across the world, isn’t that a scary thought.
3. The application Earth Guardians are focused on transforming our economy to one that gives a much higher financial value to eco-literacy, nature expertise and solving the need
4. Citizen Science is solving the under-resourced needs of decision-makers, and the worlds need for quality data to empower our community to continually prove/solve humans impact on the earth

Focus Point 2

Using your phone to collect data directly helps flora and fauna in crisis in global natural and man-made catastrophes such as bushfires, floods and snowstorms. It assists science and decision-making by pre-mapping flora and fauna species so that researchers can analyse the state of the environment and impacts of phenomena such as climate change, natural disasters, pollution, habitat change and invasive species. The rapid deterioration of the health of our ecosystems and erosion is undoing the foundation of our economies, livelihoods, food security, health and quality of life worldwide, evidenced and referenced as per the UN’s IPBES Global Assessment.

Focus Point 3

Questagame gamifies science, so that having fun, can provide information that matters and educates at the same time. We have data that shows species that were present before but lost in extinction in natural disasters such as the Australian Bushfires. Unlike other games, Earth Guardians do not collect personal data, we only collect information on living species to share for the good of speeding up science outcomes; we are focused on globally good outcomes.

Focus Point 4

Earth Guardians have been so disgruntled with nature not being the understood centre-point for life on earth, that we are going to crowd-equity funding for expansion so that everyone can be part of the global need for change and have ownership over our mission. We want everyday mum and dad investors to be investing in this company because they are investing in their child’s future and we want investors to be focused on the good health of our globe both in the realisation that the economy sits with nature. We will be the next largest community-owned company, a social enterprise, raising our mobile-based application and gamifying it for purpose of business return to conservation and education. To raise funds for our nature economy we are building the best Augmented Reality features to improve eco-literacy worldwide, so that we can ignite interest in nature and bring financial value to our game on a larger scale, payback into science and their experts and donating funds to conservation.
