  In the contemporary era, biodiversity conservation emerges as a paramount
challenge, necessitating innovative approaches to monitoring, preserving, and
enhancing the natural world. This paper explores the integration of blockchain
technology in biodiversity conservation, offering a novel perspective on how
digital resilience can be built within ecological contexts. Blockchain, with
its decentralized and immutable ledger and tokenization affordances, presents a
groundbreaking solution for the accurate monitoring and tracking of
environmental assets, thereby addressing the critical need for transparency and
trust in conservation efforts. Unlike previous more theoretical approaches, by
addressing the research question of how blockchain supports digital resilience
in biodiversity conservation, this study presents a grounded framework that
justifies which blockchain features are essential to decipher specific data
contribution and data leveraging processes in an effort to protect our planet's
biodiversity, while boosting potential economic benefits for all actors
involved, from local farmers, to hardware vendors and artificial intelligence
experts, to investors and regular users, volunteers and donors.
