# World Wildlife Fund

## Wildlife donations

Pandacoin's community has chosen to put part of what it stakes and raises toward wildlife and environmental causes. The goal is simple: turn PND activity into real-world impact for the species, habitats, and ecosystems we care about.

### The plan

* A community wallet (the **PandaBank**) accepts donations and stakes them to grow the fund over time.
* When a donation window is agreed on, the accumulated PND is either donated directly or converted to fiat — whichever each recipient organisation prefers.
* Proceeds go to the organisations listed in Our goals.
* The exact donation date hasn't been set. When it is, it'll be announced on the socials and in [Telegram](https://t.me/pandacoin).

The PandaBank and donation addresses are **open now** for stake mining and contributions. Every bit of PND that goes in compounds into a bigger pot at distribution time.

### Why we do this

Too much of crypto is about short-term profit and nothing else. That's not what Pandacoin has ever been. The community has always cared more about patience, fairness, and actually doing something useful — and funding wildlife work is one of the most tangible versions of that.

### FAQ

<details>

<summary><strong>How will the funds be donated?</strong></summary>

However the recipient organisation prefers. Some accept crypto directly; most don't. For the ones that don't, the Pandacoin dev team coordinates with the organisation and converts the PND to fiat before donating.

<summary><strong>Who manages the donation wallets?</strong></summary>

The PandaBank and associated donation addresses are managed by **John Moore** — known in the community as [Jommy99](https://t.me/jommy99) — a trusted long-time contributor. He operates the stake-mining wallet and releases funds for donation when the dev team agrees on a date.
