WEAVING
KINSHIP
TigerDAO is an embassy for an abundant, mindful future, a sanctuary for eco-ambassadors braiding inherited wisdoms with emerging diplomatic and relational technologies towards a common mission: To exchange and collaborate through art, culture, innovative technologies and financing mechanisms for the stewardship of tiger landscapes and ecosystems in kinship with Bhutan.
"Together, we can rewrite the narrative of extinction and loss, and instead create a beautiful story of compassion, resilience, restoration, and reverence for all living beings."
HRH Jetsun Pema Wangchuck, Queen of Bhutan at the Sustainable Finance for Tiger Landscapes Conference, April 2024.
FOUNDING
AMBASSADORS
TigerDAO has been founded by a collection of diverse humans who bring their expertise from law, technology, art, science, research, culture and ecology to build a regenerative platform to raise funds and support tiger conservation in Bhutan.
Ambassadors are the members of TigerDAO. They form a community directing collaborations and funds in support of tiger landscapes in Bhutan and beyond. Meet our first five founding ambassadors:

the embassy
collection
Our first collaboration is a curated selection of artworks donated by founding artist ambassadors - the ‘Embassy Collection’. These artworks will be auctioned to raise funds for the conservation and regeneration
of sustainable tiger landscapes.
The theme of the Embassy Collection is:
Weaving kinship among all cultures and beings:— how the collective remembering of sacred resonances and common relational sense can allow us to nurture diversity and live together ecologically, inspired by Bhutan’s cosmovision.
Our inaugural ‘Embassy Collection’, will be exhibited during the Bhutan Innovation Forum held on 1-3 of October, 2024 at The Royal Academy in Bhutan.
TIGERDAO
WEAVE
As part of the fabric of social connection and relational dynamics TigerDAO has generated a unique Tiger Weave based on the digital expression of ancient tiger prayer rugs. Our first 108 founding ambassadors will each receive a unique Tiger Weave NFT to recognize and commemorate their contributions.
