An immersive adventure for the International Day of Forests

On the occasion of the International Day of Forests, WeForest and AFYA, in collaboration with PuzzleBros, are launching a unique experience: "Path to Glory". This interactive adventure immerses you in the heart of forest conservation, highlighting the importance of community engagement and the interconnectedness of our efforts against climate change and biodiversity loss.

Explore the town of Addo

In "Path to Glory," explore the town of Addo, its national park, its citrus plantations, as well as the forests of the Katanino and Malawi regions. You will witness the challenges these ecosystems face, including deforestation.

Embark on an epic journey with Path to Glory, featuring 13 thrilling missions set in an incredible universe. Explore breathtaking landscapes, take action for forest conservation, and leave your mark on a greener future.

Plant a tree using the metaverse

By participating, you have the opportunity to take concrete action. By purchasing virtual “NFT Seeds”, you grow a tree in the experience, proudly displaying your name. Each seed purchased also represents a donation for the planting or protection of a real tree in one of WeForest’s projects.

So, well it starts at 40 sand for a hive and 100 sand for a tree. It's frankly a bit expensive for a tree donation, I don't know about you but 10 sand, 15 maximum could have made the associations benefit more. We will not participate in this sandbox event despite a very interesting proposal to help our planet.

The actors of the event

Weforest

For its first three years, WeForest operated with volunteers, using every euro raised to plant trees. Today, it has grown into a global team of over 90 professionals, with offices in Zambia, Ethiopia, and its headquarters in Brussels.

AfyaAcademy

The Addo Football Youth Academy (AFYA), based in the small South African township of Nomathamsanqa near Addo Elephant Wildlife Park and citrus farms, focuses on breaking the cycle of poverty and unemployment affecting local youth.

Challenges like unsupervised children, poor school attendance, and high dropout rates hinder their education and future job prospects. To address this, AFYA offers an after-school football program combined with educational and career-focused initiatives, aiming to empower disadvantaged children and provide them with tools for a brighter future.

Conclusion

In conclusion, if you own Sands and support community-driven causes, the idea of helping shape the metaverse by planting a digital tree is a fantastic initiative. Additionally, I strongly encourage you to try the experience—it’s an absolute delight to play. The exotic setting and the blend of real and virtual worlds will transport you into an unforgettable universe.
