We are excited for what's to come! ⛰️Deep Dive: Revolutionizing Bioregional ReforestationThe BioFi Project2025-09-15 | Discover how Silvi’s blockchain-enabled platform leverages blockchain and MRV tools to scope, fund, manage, and verify tree-planting campaigns at a bioregional and watershed scale, and how you can be part of the campaigns launching later this year.
In this Deep Dive, Djimo presents Silvi’s innovative tools, including Treekipedia’s AI-driven species selection for optimal ecological fit, and showcase how they integrate with funding tools for transparent crowdfunding, milestone-based payouts, and on-chain attestations for auditability. Learn how Silvi, in collaboration with ReFiDAO, OneEarth, and BioFi, is launching a global cohort of 6–10 bioregional reforestation campaigns for Gitcoin Grants (GG24).
This novel approach funds bioregions, not just grantees, channeling capital to local stewards through active bounties and programmatic allocation. Track impact with metrics like trees planted, survived, funds flowed, and stewards onboarded, all powered by Silvi’s MRV tools and smart contractsTrans-Bioregional Coordination Circle - August 28, 2025The BioFi Project2025-08-28 | As an experiment intended to facilitate learning, information flow, and coordination across our relational and professional web, the BioFi Project hosted this first seasonal Trans-Bioregional Coordination Circle in service to bioregional organizing teams and a handful of organizations working across many bioregions who are dedicated to supporting such teams.
Note: This constellation of orgs is not intended to be a comprehensive representation of the many orgs working across the globe in this space, nor is it a formal coalition or working group of any kind.
This is meant as a simple gathering container to check-in and learn out loud to benefit to broader nested wholes of which we are a part. We welcome other/overlapping trans-bioregional coordination circles popping up, especially those that may be able to better serve other geographic regions and languages.BioFi Deep Dive | Reimagining Wealth: Trust-Based Infrastructure for Bioregional RegenerationThe BioFi Project2025-08-01 | ✨ Our deepest gratitude to the wonderful team at Circletrust for this amazing call and the incredible gifts they offered to our community✨

Regenerate Cascadia was born out of a desire to support and empower the good work already underway across the Cascadia bioregion, supporting landscape groups in identifying their own regeneration strategies and linking projects together through a unified vision and story of place. By serving as a scaffolding or back bone for the bioregional movement, Regenerate Cascadia is offering essential support structures for existing initiatives to work better together. They’re providing a mycelial network that allows the bioregion to self-organize and work towards shared goals and possibilities.

Through their distributed network of collaborative Labs, Salmon Nation CoLabs are engaging Indigenous communities, impact investors, and local stewards to redirect finance from extraction to regeneration. In their first phase, they've launched two groundbreaking initiatives: the Okanagan Catalyst Network, which is helping to restore sockeye salmon populations through an eco credit market, and an indigenous women-led Rematriation Fund.
Their approach weaves together rights of nature, ecosystem service markets, and community-centered governance to demonstrate how bioregional finance can honor both people and place.BioFi Field Building Call: Forests of the Northeast - November 4, 2024The BioFi Project2024-11-05 | A special thank you to Will Szal , Z, and Roberta for gifting us with this story of successful bioregional organizing! 🌳
