Australian bitcoin payments startup BitPOS is teaming up with the International Anti-Poaching Foundation (IAPF) to help save Africa’s endangered wildlife from hunters.
It’s the latest campaign aiming to demonstrate how bitcoin companies can raise money for a cause and give digital currency a friendlier public face in the process.
A similar campaign by South African exchange iceCUBED, started last month, has already raised over 2.4 BTC for a Botswana children’s charity, and is ongoing.
Anti-Poaching CampaignSo far, the partnership between BitPOS and the IAPF has been a success,, with bitcoin payments making up around 10% of the total amount raised so far in the IAPF’s current campaign.
Funds donated will help train Africa’s anti-poaching teams.
