Glocal EcoHabitats Network
Glocal EcoHabitats Network
The EcoHabitats Glocal Network is an entrepreneurial ecosystem of individuals and non-profit associations who are committed to and actively support the values of regeneration, the rights of nature, bioregionalism, personal integrity, equity, regenerative agriculture, and respect for indigenous wisdom and ways of life on the planet. These individuals and associations are pooling capital resources in order to protect, preserve and enhance multiple habitats, watersheds and bioregional territories around the world.
BioHabitats
An AlterNative Glocal Nation is being created that is not defined by traditional distribution or geographic boundaries, but recognizes them as part of the circumstances. It is starting with organically organized local regions and communities (Bio-Habitats), and in the future will incorporate the natural bio-regions.
This new Glocal Nation organization will have an Integral Holistic BioCentric Vision and will use general principles of regeneration to coordinate its members through a radically fair and transparent governance and economy.
1. Regional projects around the globe. For local communities and bio-habitats, empowering stakeholders from diverse regions of the world to lead regenerative territories adapted to their unique contexts. This is the Transition Fund of the EcoHabitats & Territories Initiative, Hub/Global Network.
2. Investment projects that generate an increase of abundance in the global ecosystem. They support regenerative and income-generating investments, such as real estate, businesses, companies, startups, credits and ecological services (biodiversity), investments in assets and others. It is called Gaia Investment Fund.
3. Impact projects created from Gaia Commons. These address high-impact and emergency situations, such as hunger, malnutrition and natural disasters. This is called the Gaia Impact Fund and Hub.
Contributors, donors or investors provide the capital, which will be tokenized by the Gaia Commons “Bank”, and then invested in the ReFi common pools, which are:
- ReFi Pool A: land or infrastructure.
- ReFi Pool B: production of Products & Services.
- ReFi Pool C: general operations of the Agency.
- ReFi Pool D: Philanthropic Funds for Ecological and Social Restauration
Governance of the EcoHabitats Glocal Network within the Gaia Commons Model
Governance
As the Ecohabitats Glocal Network is part of Gaia Commons, the governance of the network is defined by Gaia Commons.
Gaia Commons has its own governance model, which ensures transparency, distributed governance and collective decision making in an efficient way and respecting diverse voices. It is organized in a Fractal and Distributed way from various coordinating roles and multiple working groups, which are called Spheres and Holons for the various areas of development, both operational, governance and thematic.
Spheres or Holons are entities or groups of people involved in a collaborative activity within a larger community. Each holon is autonomous yet interdependent with other holons, serving together the realization of the purpose of Gaia Commons.
The Gaia BioHabitats (GBH) and their specific projects have their own General Governance Model. These GBH are territorial (local) organizations based on affiliations (memberships), where anyone can become a member by registering and contributing with dues, either in time, money, goods or services.
Voting Categories
Governance power is distributed among the local community, local guardians, and global guardians. Each person has one vote, and each vote goes through a balanced bucket system (used by the classic Commons Land Trust boards), which corresponds directly and proportionally to how that voter is connected to each biohabitat, territory, bio-region or country, to the global network and to the project in question. So then you have 3 voting categories, each with the same categorical weight:
- General members (33.3%), local people who belong to the project.
- Local and/or National Guardians (33.3%), national or bioregional guardians, referees or custodians, representatives recognized by Gaia Commons and the local community.
Global Guardians of Gaia – and/or in some cases external benefactors (33.3%). Ideally in this category 100% would normally be held by Gaia Commons, i.e. 33.3% of the total, or at least 51%, i.e. 16.9% of the total.

Bio-Hubs
As we saw before, each Bio-region or Bio-habitat will have Physical Bio-Hubs as its epicenter, which serve as centers of regenerative practices, community support and ecosystem preservation. These physical Bio-Hubs can also be referred to as:
– BioRegional Hubs or BioHabitats [BRHs (Bioregional Hubs) or BioHubs].
– Community Resource Centers (CRCs)
– BioRegional Learning Centers [BLCs or Bioregional Learning Centers].
Bio-Hubs, central to the mission of Gaia Commons, are the place where knowledge is translated into action, ideas into realities, and where local communities become the catalysts for positive transformation.
By supporting and strengthening the network of Bio-Hubs (BLCs / CRCs), Gaia Commons is laying the foundation for a sustainable, inclusive, community-based approach to poverty alleviation. These centers are more than physical spaces; they are the seeds from which regenerative practices and empowerment take root and grow. Their creation is the embodiment of Gaia Commons’ commitment to making a tangible difference at the grassroots level, ensuring that no community is left behind on the path to a brighter, more prosperous world.
Coverage and effective support.
These centers are designed to tailor their initiatives to the unique contexts and requirements of the regions they serve. For this reason, Gaia Commons tailors the approach and structure of the Bio-Hubs to regional characteristics, needs and strengths. For those Bio-Regions with enormous geographic and demographic diversity, multiple Bio-Hubs can be established and strategically located to ensure comprehensive coverage and effective support. Bio-Hubs can adopt specialized focus areas to address the unique needs of different regions.
A fundamental commitment of the Bio-Hubs is to the celebration and preservation of local cultures, traditions and heritage. Innovative initiatives with positive impact can be incubated and supported to expand their reach on a bioregional and global scale. Collaboration among Bio-Hubs is supported to address unique global or regional challenges.
The dynamic heartbeat of transformation
Bio-Hubs also serve as training centers for local leaders; the epicenter of funding coordination; catalysts for regional transformation; as well as hubs for global collaboration and knowledge sharing.
In essence, the BioRegional HUBs/BioHabitats (BRHs or Bio-Hubs) are the dynamic heartbeat of transformation within the global initiative. They are where the mission takes tangible form and the commitment to create a world of regenerative prosperity is realized. These centers are the embodiment of the dedication to a future where poverty disappears, communities thrive and shared abundance endures.
PazAporte PHI
Gaia BioHabitats
The Passport is also the virtual wallet where you can hold your tokens that you can exchange for goods and services, and at the same time where your Stamps or Badges of recognition for your Talents, Ethics, Work, etc.), Smart Contracts (NFTs) along with the Memberships (Visas) from different programs, Shared Property Titles, Collaboration Labor Contracts, etc. are housed.
This innovative vision of Territorial ReOrdering eliminates the artificial borders of the old world. Now we organize ourselves to be able to mobilize, interact, and collaborate freely, in an autonomous and interdependent way.
If the terms mentioned before are not familiar to you, let us explain what they mean.
A Token is a digital chip or coin that has value within a system, in which it can be exchanged for products and services.
NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are a kind of unique, non-exchangeable, immutable contract that certifies a unique ownership within the Blockchain.
Blockchain is the technology that facilitates the recording of transactions and the tracking of assets in a business network, it is like an non-modifiable and shared accounting book, which stores data.
A BioHabitat is a local community that organizes itself organically and is committed to regeneration through different sustainable practices.

Our Stronghold: BIO-HUBS
BioRegional/BioHabitats HUBs BioRegional Learning Centers
Community Resource Centers (CRCs)
The Commons’s reach extends to the establishment of BioRegional/BioHabitats HUBs (BRHs or BioHubs), which serve as hubs for regenerative practices, community support, and ecosystem preservation. These centres act as bridges between our projects and the communities they serve, enhancing collaboration and positive change at the local level. In our quest to eliminate scarcity and empower communities, these centres play a vital role.
A poignant reminder of the critical role BioHubs (BLCs / CRCs) play comes from one of our proposed members BoP Hub, whose founder, Jack Sim, shares a deep commitment to poverty reduction.
The pivotal importance of localised, place-based solutions becomes evident when addressing the ambitious goal of reducing poverty at scale. These centres serve as incubation hubs for local initiatives, enabling them to flourish, cultivate financial independence, and ultimately drive positive change within their communities.
By supporting and strengthening the network of BioHubs (BLCs / CRCs), the Gaia Commons is laying the groundwork for a sustainable, inclusive, and community-driven approach to poverty alleviation. These centres are more than just physical spaces; they are the seeds from which regenerative practices and empowerment take root and grow.
Their establishment is the embodiment of our commitment to making a tangible difference at the grassroots level, ensuring that no community is left behind in the journey towards a brighter, more prosperous world.
The Gaia Commons – Glocal Eco-BioHabitats Network (Initiative) is an alliance that acknowledges the urgency of our times and the wisdom of ages. As an alliance, we collectively strive to create a tapestry of positive change that extends across communities, bioregions, and the planet as a whole. Together, we weave a regenerative future, where hope, prosperity, and lasting change endure for generations to come. Welcome to the Gaia Commons—where our shared journey begins, and where our shared dreams of a brighter world become a reality.

This white paper seeks to explain the Gaia Hub Tokenomics framework or model. It’s a model inspired by regenerative economies and commons principles and net-positive Earth literature which are fundamentally meant to foster a sustainable and abundant development for all. It’s a model catalysed by web3 tools that enables the direct interaction of multiple stakeholders.
This model is embedded within a layered system of the Gaia Commons Hub framework, which mainly includes the GLocal Initiative Fund, Gaia Investments Fund and Gaia Impact Fund,
which altogether form the Gaia Commons Hub model. It is an integral and nature-inspired global ecosystem to support, incubate and invest in regenerative projects.
The Gaia Commons Tokenomics Model is systematically based on the diagram contained in the following section and rooted in practice by regenerative development of place based projects and complemented with the general production of goods, services, information (knowledge) and technologies.
Tokenomics
Purpose and objective
The creation of a MultiToken System for the interaction between different sectors, communities, initiatives and and all kind of capitals and people in general that are looking for a social, cultural, economic, environmental, scientific, agricultural, technological and holistic transformation towards a ReGenerative System, It is an innovative solution to address the current challenges of Economic equilibrium and Integration and distributions of power among the different sectors, institutions, countries, communities, networks and organisations in general.
The objective of these tokens is to allow suppliers and facilitators to offer their specific talents, skills, assets, products and services, and to find what they demand as well in the different sectors offered by other suppliers, while being funded through donations, loans or investments, through the liquidity pools or funds of these specific group of tokens that will be governed by the people that has the more expertise, integrity and efficiency for each of the 7 Funds (7 Branches of the 3 main Trunks in the Blue Chart on the last page) that they belong to.
Conservation
Gaia BioHabitats
Gaia Conservation Token
The preservation of Life means the protection of
Water, Soil & Biodiversity in general around the World. (CRCs)
BioDiversity, Water and Soil value is and will be incalculable for all generations because of their capacity to generate life in an integral balance, including the climatic balance.
This is only possible as long as the ecosystems are maintained as they are designed by the planet’s own intelligence, that is to say, as long as it is valued for existing. Therefore the above is demarcated as Existence Value, restoring, maintaining and preserving it in a healthy state contributes to the whole planet in general including all its inhabitants.
GAIA Conservation Token, The Currencie of Life; Biodiversity, Water and Soil, Enables the restoration, conservation and protection of all Forms of Life on our planet, which in practice translates into armored land titles (tokens) for its preservation, measured water flows, deposits of metals and minerals detected but untouchable, all this protected in the safest vault in the world: the Earth… GAIA!
Agriculture
Gaia BioHabitats
Gaia Hub’s influence on the agricultural sector foregrounds sustainable practices that prioritize ecological balance and community welfare. By championing permaculture, agroforestry, agroecology, regenerative practices and biomimicry, the Hub seeks to rejuvenate soil health, promote biodiversity, and reduce reliance on harmful chemicals.
These practices ensure a consistent, nutrient-rich food supply, enhancing local food security. Additionally, by cultivating indigenous crops and fostering diverse ecosystems, Gaia Hub plays a pivotal role in safeguarding vital pollinators and indigenous biodiversity.
Gaia Hub invests in education and hands-on training for local farmers, fostering self-sufficiency and broadening the adoption of sustainable methods. Circular agricultural systems are emphasized, where waste from one process becomes valuable input for another, minimizing waste and enhancing soil quality.
Through establishing platforms connecting farmers directly with consumers, the Hub also facilitates fair pricing and transparent transactions, solidifying its commitment to both environmental and socio-economic upliftment.
Education
Gaia BioHabitats
Through the promotion of global awareness, skill enhancement and inclusive learning, the goal of Gaia Commons Hub is to cultivate a well-informed generation that is strongly equipped to face global challenges.
We offer educational opportunities to support people in learning ways to live more holistically and connected to nature and to life, both virtually and face-to-face.
There is a wide variety of educational programs created to increase people’s capacity for living more self-sufficiently and interdependently, by having an aligned network and community of regenerative specialists in very diverse fields with ideal environments for training.
Our network provides access to digital resources focused on empowering sovereignty and resilience among the members of Gaia Hub. It also provides tools to strengthen social relationships and skills in managing and re-allocating resources. Our approach respects local customs, traditions, priorities and needs.

National / BioRegional /
Local Associations
At the Global level, Gaia Agency is the one that serves the global regenerative projects, providing legal, administrative, marketing and other services. The national Associations have their own national agency that are a fractal of the global Agency, and interact in turn with the fractal at the local level and / or specific projects.
The Associations can develop any social, commercial or civil economic activity. And they will seek to achieve their goals by carrying out activities such as:
Planning, executing and evaluating projects that respond to the vision, mission and objectives, as well as facilitating them to obtain funding; creating and granting sponsorships and programs for projects that serve the development of the human being and the ecosystem; generating alliances to expand the Global Community Network; signing cooperation agreements with organizations to execute joint programs and projects; achieving the active participation of all members of the community in programs and projects; among others.
