Jonathan Ledgard of Tehanu explains his revolutionary concept of "interspecies money" where animals and natural resources can hold digital identities with crypto wallets to receive payments for the services they provide to humans.

Jonathan Ledgard is the CEO of Tehanu and the pioneering mind behind "interspecies money" - a concept that extends digital identity and cryptocurrency payments to animals, plants and natural resources. With a background at The Economist and extensive experience in robotics and AI, Ledgard has developed a system where species can "stake" their existence and receive payments for the essential services they provide to humans. The conversation explores Tehanu's successful pilot project with mountain gorillas in Rwanda, the potential for stable coins backed by conservation efforts and how this model could transform the relationship between humans and nature.
