Buying A Wildlife Photograph Or Art NFT

View The Photos And Art

The wildlife pictures and artworks are arranged in limited edition collections according to the country they were taken or created in and alphabetically by the organization/photographer/artist that created them.

So how it works is that there are two marketplaces on Provably Protect, one for cryptocurrency wallet owners and another one for buyers who don't have crypto wallets and don't intend to get in the near future. You will see that under each photograph in the collection there is an option to buy that will go to the relevant marketplace.

These are one of a kind photographs and artworks because each one can be listed only once on the Provably Protect platform.

After being registered on the blockchain they become provably unique with an ownership certificate (NFT) to match.

Once you are ready, click on the relevant link under the photo or artwork you are interested in, 'Crypto Wallet Owner' if you own a crypto wallet or the 'No Crypto Wallet Needed' link if you don't.

That will lead to the image on the relevant Provably Protect marketplace with the price and the opportunity to buy.

Buy Using A Crypto Wallet, Or Buy Without One

If you have a cryptocurrency wallet...

After clicking on the 'Crypto Wallet Owner' link in the collection, connect your wallet to buy at the marketplace. You can pay in MATIC tokens on the Polygon blockchain after which the nft will be transferred directly to your wallet.

If you don't have a cryptocurrency wallet...

No problem, you don't need one to buy and own Provably Protect wildlife photos and art.

After clicking on the 'No Crypto Wallet Needed' link you will be prompted to open an account at the marketplace at the point of purchase. You can then buy the image using US dollars and pay with a credit, debit card or Paypal. The NFT gets stored in escrow in your name by Provably Protect.

Once you've made payment at either marketplace, the original, high resolution digital photograph or artwork image will be made available to you for download.

Buying Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need Cryptocurrency To Buy A NFT Photograph Or Artwork?

No. To enable as many people as possible to own the photographs/art and contribute to wildlife conservation, they can be paid for in US dollars, without cryptocurrency or even a cryptocurrency wallet.

The NFT is registered in your name and placed in escrow by Provably Protect for you.

Do I Need A Cryptocurrency Wallet?

No, you can purchase a Provably Protect NFT without having a cryptocurrency wallet because we store it for you in your name in escrow.

If you decide that you want to take your NFT out of escrow with Provably Protect then you can so at any time, but then you will need your own cryptocurrency wallet.

Can The Photographs Or Artwork NFT Increase in Value?

Yes, they definitely could. As more people become aware that they can contribute to wildlife conservation and earn some money for themselves by buying these one of a kind photos and art pieces, their value could rise.

NFT sales in the first half of 2021 reached an amazing $2.5 billion so it's very clear that people are finding value in owning NFT's and are willing to spend money on them.

A wildlife photograph set a new record in June 2021 by selling for the amount of $86 510. View the list of the most expensive wildlife NFT's here...

It all depends on what bidders are willing to pay when the photographs and artworks are auctioned.

How Do I Get The Original Photograph Or Artwork?

Cryptocurrency Wallet Marketplace: Once you have paid for your photograph or artwork and the NFT has been transeferred to your cryptocurrency wallet, click on the unlockables link associated with your image to allow you to download the original hi resolution photograph or art file.

No Cryptocurrency Wallet Marketplace: Once you have paid for your photograph or artwork you will receive a link in an e-mail from Provably Protect to allow you to download the original hi resolution photograph or art file.

What May I Do With The Photograph Or Artwork I Bought?

The photograph or piece of art you bought is available for your own personal, non-commercial use.

Ownership (but not copyright, that stays with the collection creator) is transferred to you in the form of a NFT so you are allowed to display the photograph or artwork on your website, on a third-party website or app, on social media or otherwise and also physically in the form of a print on a wall or wherever.

The only commercial usage allowed is to sell it again on the Provably Protect platform. In fact this is encouraged, because when you sell your photograph or art a 4% profit contribution is made to the relevant conservation organization, and 90% of the profit to you, the owner. 4% of the profit goes to the collection creator (the copyright owner) and 2% to Provably Protect.

So when you cease to own it, you may continue to display it where you placed it prior to that sale, but you may not create new displays after that.

Contact Provably Protect if you are not sure about a potential use.

How Is The Conservation Organization Chosen?

The conservation organization that will receive donations from the sale and purchase of photographs or artwork in a collection is chosen by the company or individual that created the wildlife collection themselves, such as a photographer or artist.

They are often involved in conservation in some manner, so they are very well placed to be able to choose the conservation organization that will make the most difference on the front line for wildlife protection.

How Much Is Contributed To Wildlife Conservation?

40% of the profit from the first purchase of each photograph or artwork NFT is contributed to a wildlife conservation organization.

Each time the NFT is sold after that, 4% of the profit goes to wildlife conservation.

Why Is It Called Provably Protect?

By registering the wildlife photographs or artwork on the block chain they become provably unique, the ownership of the photographs or piece of art can be proven at any time and is unalterable. So that's where the provably part of the name comes from.

And because 40% of the proceeds and a 4% royalty from the sale of these NFT's is contributed to wildlife conservations organizations to help protect wildlife, the second part of the name comes into play.

What Is A Non-Fungible Token (NFT)?

Here's the Wikipedia definition..."A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unit of data stored on a digital ledger, called a blockchain, that certifies a digital asset to be unique and therefore not interchangeable. NFTs can be used to represent items such as photos, videos, audio, and other types of digital files. Access to any copy of the original file, however, is not restricted to the buyer of the NFT. While copies of these digital items are available for anyone to obtain, NFTs are tracked on block chains to provide the owner with a proof of ownership that is separate from copyright."

So in less technical terms and for wildlife photograph and art purposes, an NFT is the certificate of ownership that gets transferred to your blockchain wallet when you have made payment of the winning auction bid, proving that you are the only owner of that particular, unique photograph or piece of art.

Copies of the photograph or work of art may appear on the web but that doesn't change the fact that you are the sole owner of the original photograph or artwork, which can be proved by referencing the block chain, which is unalterable.

How Does The Payment Work?

Cryptocurrency Wallet Marketplace: Payment is possible in Matic cryptocurrency using your crypto wallet.

No Cryptocurrency Wallet Marketplace: Payment is possible in US dollars by bank transfer (EFT), credit/debit card (Visa or MasterCard) or Paypal.

Which Blockchain Are The NFT's Registered On?

All Provably Protect wildlife photograph and Art NFT's are registered on the Polygon block chain which is compatible with the Ethereum network.

This blockchain is very energy efficient and eco-friendly because it functions on a proof of stake basis and not proof of work like many other, energy intensive blockchains.

How Much Can I Sell My NFT For?

How Will My NFT Sale Be Marketed?

You are of course welcome to market your photograph or Artwork NFT through all the channels available to you, as the more people that know about and participate in the sale, the better the chance of selling your photograph or piece of art will be.

This increases the chances of your NFT being sold and that another contribution to help with wildlife conservation will be realised.
