 # Decentralized Ecological Economics Protocol (DEEP)
 
-## DEEP Mission
-
-At Sovereign Nature Initiative, our goal is to refigure the economics of ecology by finding ways to fund and expand projects that sustain life on our planet. Currently, most ecological stewarding projects are severely underfunded. Environmental justice activism and ecological work primarily rely on donations and funding from philanthropies, public institutions, and other donors. This lack of a sustainable financial stream undermines the validation and recognition of the invaluable work being done by ecological stewards such as conservation NGOs, governmental agencies, local communities, and citizen-led initiatives.
-
-To address this issue, we developed the Decentralised Ecological Economics Protocol (DEEP) together with the Registry for Ecological Asset Linking (REAL). Starting from the notion of eco-data and the way it currently shapes and is being shaped by increased demands of verification for biodiversity impact reporting and evaluation, our approach facilitates the flow of value between ecological work and digital creativity, enabling sustainable validation of ecological efforts. By effectively integrating ecological work with the digital realm through processing eco-data, we not only generate value but also give digital assets tangible and real-life significance. Critically, our approach allows ecological stewards to market their work without impeding their on-site efforts, ensuring a harmonious balance between financial viability and ecological preservation.
+DEEP is a protocol that brings eco-data to digital creatives. We collaborate with ecological stewards, such as conservation organisations and rewilding projects, who already generate data as part of their daily work. Eco-data spans species-specific insights obtained through direct observations, evidence of species’ presence (e.g., droppings, tracks) and GPS-tracking devices, as well as broader habitat or ecosystem data collected via top-down remote sensing technologies such as satellites or ground collection of soil and plant samples. We process this data and make it accessible to digital creatives through our protocol; cleaning, standardising and aggregating it. Digital creatives utilise this data in their projects, which can range from gaming and virtual environments to art and music production. The digital representations created using this data, so called eco-linked derivatives, are then made available for purchase and the proceeds are shared between the conservation organisations (50-70%) and Sovereign Nature Initiative for funding its continued operations.
 
 ## What Is Eco-Data
 
-Eco-Data - is data collected through the work of ecological stewards.
+Eco-data is data produced through the work of ecological stewards in their daily activities in order to inform their conservation and/or restoration strategies and actions internally, and to report on their nature-positive impact.
 
-It's almost impossible to measure ecology in all its complexity. However, there are thousands of organisations involved in the process of collecting, storing, and processing information about ecology while doing their conservation and regeneration activities. We collect data from such activities and make it available inside of the DEEP.
+As it is impossible to measure ecology in all its complexity, we work with the particular data our partners deem important for their work. There are nurmerous organisations involved in the process of collecting, storing, and processing information about ecology while doing their conservation and regeneration activities. We process the data from such activities and make it available to digital creatives throught DEEP and REAL.
 
-The Eco-Data requirements are that it needs to be relevant, educational, and rich in empathy, it needs to be collected by the Ecological Steward and shall refer to the Ecological Entity the Project Supported is intended to conserve and/or restore. The Eco-Data is utilized both internally to inform their conservation and/or restoration strategies and actions, and externally to report on their nature-positive impact.
+The eco-data we proceess needs to be relevant, educational, and rich in empathy.
 
-## Eco-Linked Assets
+## Eco-Linked Derivatives
 
-Physical or digital goods can be linked to the Eco-Data through the DEEP Link - a smart contract that stores the link between the Eco-Data and the linked asset.
+Physical or digital goods can be linked to the eco-data through the DEEP link - a smart contract that stores the link between the eco-data and the linked digital asset, creating an eco-linked derivative.
 
-Linking such assets allows us to generate additional value for both an asset and the ecological entity it's linked to.
+Creating such eco-linked derivatives is the key for genearting substantial funding streams while imbuing the linked goods with tangible meaning.
 
 ## DEEP Link
 
-DEEP Link is an [ERC721](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/standards/tokens/erc-721/) token that stores the connection between the linked asset and ecological entity. It can link any ecological entity with its derivatives - like nature-inspired in-game items or artworks. Such nature-connected items can get new properties, functions, and representations based on the ecology they are connected to.
+DEEP Link is an [ERC721](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/standards/tokens/erc-721/) token that stores the connection between the linked asset and ecological data set referencing an entiy like an animal or a particular geographical area, enabling the creation of the eco-derivative. It can link any ecological data set to a prodocut - like nature-inspired in-game items, artworks, event tickets, etc. Such eco-linked derivatives can gain new properties, functions, and representations based on the ecology they are connected to.
 
 DEEP Link has the following parameters:
 `id` - unique DEEP Link ID which is a product of caching the address of the linked asset into a big integer number.
 `entity_id` - ID of the ecological entity according to the protocol.
 `steward_id` - ID of the conservation organisation according to the protocol.
 `funds_raised` - amount of funds raised by the link for the steward and ecological entity.
 
-### Asset DID Address System
+## Derivative DID Address System
 
-DEEP uses an address system based on the Asset DID [specification](https://github.com/KILTprotocol/spec-asset-did). The linked asset address is encoded into the DEEP Link token ID via the keccak256 function.

 ## Rarity Index
 
-Organisation according to a rarity is a key logic in the gaming world as well as in the NFT art and gaming spaces. The Rarity Index is a custom metric designed to quantify and communicate the uniqueness and importance of various ecological features captured in the Eco-Data provided by conservation organisations. This index is key for integrating eco-data into gaming as it responds to the request of assigning rarity to items and functionalities by connecting it to real scientific data.  The rarity attributes can be updated from real-life events so that the index evolves together with the linked eco-data.

+#Overview
+
+At Sovereign Nature Initiative, our goal is to reconfigure the economics of ecology by finding ways to fund and expand projects that sustain life on our planet. Currently, most ecological stewarding projects are severely underfunded. Biodiversity restoration primarily relies on donations, funding from philanthropists, public institutions and other donors. The lack of a sustainable financial streams is estimated at approximately $700 billion per year according to the Convention on Biological Diversity Secretariat. Private voluntary contributions toward nature-positive efforts, also knows as “private investments in nature”, play a key role in addressing this funding gap. 
+
+We developed the Decentralised Ecological Economics Protocol (DEEP) together with the Registry for Ecological Asset Linking (REAL) to ensure that private voluntary giving is valuable, and eventually a key mode for contributing to restoration of biodiversity worldwide. Our protocol and interface allow us to effectively integrate data about ecological impact with the digital realm. This approach generates new funding streams while imbuing digital assets with tangible and real-life significance. Critically, our approach allows ecological stewards to market their work without impeding their on-site efforts, ensuring a harmonious balance between financial viability and biodiversity restoration. 
+
+Our work is guided by the following key propositions: 
+
+- breaking with the paradigm of donation: the value of biodiversity is integrated into digital products increasing their value in the digital economy by imbuing them with meaning in the age of digital overproduction;
+- verifiying impact through data: minimal access to the most relevant ecological field data used by organisations to monitor their progress and evaluate impact, with a digestible explanation of how the data is used to inform nature-positive strategies and actions;
+- selecting trustworthy partners: investing in projects of ecological stewards with a long and successful track record that operate on the ground and are guided by a holistic vision of sustaining live on earth for all species;
+- reducing the distance: developing meaningful and long-term connections between contributors and biodiversity practicioners lays the foundation for a large-scale socio-econmic transformation;

+Aquasearch, an organisation with expertise in environmental and oceanographic research, focuses on marine wildlife in the Caribbean. Confronting threats like human disturbances from tourist or commercial vessels, their primary goal is to protect and study marine life, particularly cetaceans. They are currently supporting a project to characterise cetacean populations in the Agoa sanctuary that aims to monitor cetacean migrations between Caribbean islands and conduct acoustic characterisation studies to understand their behaviour and reactions to anthropogenic disturbances. By the first quarter of 2025, they intend to influence regulations and policies governing commercial vessel approaches to cetaceans in the Agoa sanctuary. Leveraging bioacoustic research to non-invasively monitor and develop effective conservation strategies for these species the meeting of this objective will be measured by the amendments to applicable legislations.
