New York, New York -
Newsfile Corp.
- March 12, 2025 - ONE AMAZON, a groundbreaking initiative that
transforms rainforest conservation into a market-driven investment
opportunity, has secured a landmark $100 million commitment from Global
Edge Worldwide Fund. This funding milestone provides the financial
backing needed to bring the initiative's vision to life—deploying
cutting-edge technology, blockchain-backed securities, and sustainable
finance to protect the Amazon Rainforest while generating long-term
economic value. Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) is also
participating as a minority investor, reinforcing its role as a key
technology partner in the project.
The Amazon Rainforest is one of the most critical ecosystems on the
planet, producing 20% of the world's oxygen, storing vast amounts of
carbon, and regulating global climate patterns. Yet, it is being lost at
an alarming rate, driven by deforestation and unsustainable economic
pressures. ONE AMAZON introduces a new solution—leveraging the Internet
of Forests™ (IoF™), a large-scale environmental intelligence network
that enables real-time monitoring and monetization of the rainforest's
ecological value. With major institutional partners, including PSG
Digital, ONE AMAZON is now positioned to move from vision to execution,
ensuring that the Amazon's protection is not only an environmental
necessity but a long-term economic opportunity that benefits both
investors and the planet.
Gorilla Technology Powers the Internet of Forests™
As a key technology partner, Gorilla is deploying AI-driven data
intelligence, IoT solutions, and advanced analytics to create the
world's largest environmental monitoring network. By integrating
biodegradable sensors, satellite imagery, and AI-powered environmental
insights, Gorilla is transforming the Amazon into a fully quantified and
investable natural ecosystem. In addition to its technological
contributions, Gorilla is also participating as a minority investor in
ONE AMAZON.
Jay Chandan, Chairman & CEO of Gorilla, emphasized the initiative's
potential, "The ONE AMAZON initiative is not just a vision; it is a
financial and technological revolution that will redefine how we value,
protect and monetize natural capital, at a global scale. Gorilla
Technology is part of the core team behind this transformation, serving
as one of the architects of the Internet of Forests™, deploying the
world's largest-scale environmental intelligence infrastructure to
transform the Amazon into the most data-rich, investable natural asset
on the planet. With our AI-powered analytics, real-time biodiversity
tracking and blockchain-backed verification models, we are building the
foundation of a new conservation economy, one that will generate
billions in economic value while ensuring the Amazon thrives for
generations to come. This is where finance, technology, and
sustainability converge to create real, scalable impact and Gorilla is
at the very heart of it."
Rodrigo Veloso, CEO of ONE AMAZON, highlighted the transformative
potential of the initiative, "The Amazon is not just a rainforest—it is
the lifeblood of our planet. With the Internet of Forests™, we are
creating a new paradigm where environmental protection and economic
growth go hand in hand. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and
innovative finance, we are turning the Amazon into a global asset that
benefits both nature and humanity. This is more than a project; it is a
movement to redefine how we value and protect our planet's most precious
resources."

Global Edge Worldwide Fund has pledged $100 million to support the
expansion of ONE AMAZON's ecosystem, reinforcing its mission to protect

bold, scalable model that turns nature into a tangible, investable
asset. Our $100 million commitment is not just an investment but a

Asset and tokenization space. We are bringing capital, blockchain, and
datafication to nature-based assets in a truly groundbreaking way. This
is a historic moment for Web 3 and sustainable finance, and PSG Digital

A Paradigm Shift in Environmental Finance
