10m Thai Baht donated by Vitalik Buterin to support Khao Kheow Open Zoo

by

As a seasoned analyst with a keen eye for the interplay between technology, finance, and wildlife conservation, I find myself deeply moved by Vitalik Buterin’s generous contribution to Khao Kheow Open Zoo. His commitment to animal welfare, education, and community spirit resonates profoundly with my own experiences in these areas.

The funds will be used to improve zoo operations and create a special exhibition for the famous hippopotamus known as, Moo Deng.

I penned a heartfelt missive to the director of Khao Kheow Open Zoo, expressing my admiration for their commitment to education and animal wellbeing. In this letter, I shared my enthusiasm for their noble efforts.

Your dedication towards animal welfare, education, and engagement really struck me, along with your efforts to create a lively and enjoyable environment for both visitors and staff. What particularly caught my attention was your vision for enhancing the zoo, specifically the idea of renovating the Pygmy Hippopotamus enclosure.

Appreciation goes out to Vitalik Buterin (@VitalikButerin) for becoming part of our Wildlife Sponsorship Program and graciously sponsoring Moo Deng’s family with a substantial donation of 10,000,000 THB. We eagerly anticipate collaborating with you over the next two years to bring positive change to the Khao Kheow Open Zoo community and beyond!

Two installments of five million Thai Baht each will be used to deliver the contribution.

The first installment will be made on Dec. 26, 2024, with the second installment following on Dec. 26, 2025, and all future contributions occurring on the same date.

Vitalik Buterin emphasized the importance of this donation as a symbol of gratitude and camaraderie, expressing it thusly: “This generous gift underscores our mutual respect and friendship.

For the entire Ethereum community, let me express our gratitude and extend a friendly token of appreciation to everyone in your nation, in acknowledgment of the warm welcome you’ve extended to us.

Moo Deng, who has gained unexpected yet beloved fame in Thailand, is set to receive a special exhibit, made possible by this generous donation. Because of his popularity, the Moo Deng (MOODENG) digital token was introduced, which skyrocketed approximately 1600% and reached its peak price of $0.6804 a month ago.

However, despite the ongoing attention surrounding the Moo Deng exhibit, the price of the MOODENG token has yet to see significant change, trading at $0.277. This represents a 4.75% decline from the previous day. Its market cap stands at $274.75 million, and trading volume has experienced a notable increase of 23.65% in the past 24 hours, reaching $98.44 million.

As a crypto investor, I eagerly anticipate the continued growth and success of Moo Deng. I can’t wait to witness not only its longevity but also the prosperity it brings to us as a family and the broader community.

Vitalik Buterin’s persistent work in bridging local community and wildlife actions with global technological advancements is underscored by such generous donations. Specifically, the funds will be utilized by Khao Kheow Open Zoo to enhance its facilities and educational programs, thus reinforcing Moo Deng as a symbol of collaboration and care.
