The NFTs were created in partnership with Australian startup, Meadow Labs and carbon-negative blockchain, Algorand. For the uninitiated, Australia Zoo is famous for \u201cThe Crocodile Hunter\u201d, Steve Irwin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Australia Zoo\u2019s NFT Collection All About?<\/b><\/h2>\n
The first Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors NFT collection will feature the Australian \u201cWarrior Croc\u201d Saltwater Crocodile. It takes inspiration from Steve Irwin, who was called \u201cThe Crocodile Hunter\u201d for his love and passion for the species.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
The collection constitutes 2,000 randomly generated unique NFTs. What\u2019s more, some will even feature Irwin family attributes! Each NFT will cost AUD$50, making it accessible and affordable for anyone who is interested. The drop will go live at 7 pm AEST on 14 June 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled to be launching the first series of Wildlife Warriors NFTs to support our conservation projects across Australia Zoo and Wildlife Warriors,\u201d said Robert Irwin of Australia Zoo. \u201cWe are continuing Dad\u2019s legacy of achieving a world where wildlife and humans can live harmoniously alongside each other, and it is brilliant to be able to use the world\u2019s first carbon negative blockchain to further support our important mission.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
All NFT Sales Proceeds Will Support Australia Zoo\u2019s Conservation Projects<\/b><\/h2>\n
Australia Zoo\u2019s first NFT collection is more than just an average NFT project. In fact, Warrior Croc NFT holders will be supporting the zoo and Wildlife Warriors\u2019 conservation and sustainability efforts. In fact, the complete proceeds from the primary NFT sales will go towards various conservation projects and initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\n
For instance, the proceeds will help adding more tools to the zoo\u2019s sustainable practices, including turning its shuttles green. Furthermore, it will help tagging and tracking five crocodiles in the Wenlock River. Besides, the proceeds will also support the purchase of supplies and staff needed to care for kangaroo joeys and other baby marsupials.<\/span><\/p>\n
And that\u2019s not all! The NFTs in themselves come with several other utilities. To illustrate, holders will have access to a dedicated Discord server. You can also expect special rewards, competitions, and other secret perks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Moreover, the Warrior Croc NFT drop is the first of a five-part animal collectible series from Australia Zoom. Only those who hold an NFT from the first four drops will be able to buy NFTs from the fifth drop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/picture>You can mint the NFTs on the official webpage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
