Dani Bellavita

About

Activist for ecological restoration, architect of place-based communities and alchemist of decentralized governance economies bridging the virtual tech world with the natural living wild, making maps, matches, magic, and a bit of mischief. A former corporate project manager of information technology systems, I've been facilitating change in networked environments for over 30 years. Now living in Costa Rica, I work with projects that bring blockchain-based tools for collaboration and crypto-philanthropy to real world practices. My passion lies in the incentivization of economic development around caring for public goods and restoring rights to nature and the indigenous peoples. As president of the Costa Rican social impact organization Asociacion Puente Diamante Colectiva, founder of ReFi Costa Rica, cofounder of the Diamante Bridge Collective, and Trustee for the Diamante Luz Earth Trust, I'm currently contributing to cultural exchange projects that provide education through real life application of web3 tools for incentivizing human contributions toward valuing the care of nature. These entities are part of a decentralized 'village of villages' comprised of individual contributors
