Today, I’d like to share with you a podcast episode from HIVE Thrive, hosted by 
In this groundbreaking episode, we dive deep with EcoInstant, a pioneering innovator in Colombia developing on blockchain, who's solving the biggest problem no one talks about in environmental restoration: the shocking 80%+ failure rate in tree planting initiatives.
Working alongside his wife through their NGO Quinta Esencia Taller, EcoInstant reveals how their blockchain-powered monitoring tools are transforming ecological restoration efforts in Colombia's Tolima region - shifting focus from merely planting trees to ensuring they actually survive and thrive.
What You'll Discover:
✅ The critical monitoring gap that's undermining global reforestation efforts
✅ How blockchain technology creates accountability in ecological restoration projects
✅ Real-world success stories from rural Colombian communities using these tools
✅ Why traditional donor reporting systems are suffocating actual conservation work
✅ How decentralized technology empowers local workers in environmental restoration
EcoInstant's innovative approach addresses the fundamental imbalance in the restoration economy: too much paperwork, too little actual monitoring, and misaligned incentives that prioritize planting over survival.
