Big Tree Announces Biodiversity Business Development Plan
NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MARCH 26, 2024 TSXV Symbol: BIGT
Toronto, Ontario, March 26, 2024 – Big Tree Carbon Inc. (the “Company” or “Big Tree”)
(TSXV:BIGT) is pleased to announce the first-of-its-kind Natural Asset Resource platform
model for the protection and stewardship of the world’s unspoiled biodiversity.
Pioneered by Big Tree, a business platform representing a virtual proxy for Nature in a new
web-based community dubbed “The Nanaverse” is being designed in partnership with a select
group of First Nations in Northern Ontario. The general public, corporate, education,
government and social organizations will be offered the opportunity to directly support the
value of Nature through a 20-year project protecting biodiversity assets while generating
revenue to further develop this exciting new concept. Software and web development is being
provided by a recognized team of tech industry designers.
Big Tree has spent the past five years developing a model to counter the insufficiency and
patchwork application of carbon offset regulations. Understanding that biodiversity is neither a
credit nor offset, but rather a quantity of global wealth that is fast disappearing, has led our
team to develop this whole new approach.
Big Tree will now be focused on our newly pioneered sector of the Canadian Resource Industry
- namely - Natural Asset Resource Management.
It is part of Big Tree’s mandate to assist under clause 92 of the Truth and Reconciliation
Commission of Canada: Calls to Action (the “TRC Report”) and particularly clause 92.ii. To that
end, Big Tree has developed a unique executive team, who for the past three years have been
in discussions with the representative Ojibway councils of Northern Ontario to develop our
biodiversity business plan for the mutual benefit of the First Nations partners and the planet.
This represents a ground-breaking initiative led by Big Tree as the only publicly-listed company
in Canada with a majority First Nations Board of Directors and President & CEO. Big Tree is in
the final stage of discussions with our First Nations partners in this new sector of the resource
economy, namely the stewardship of our natural environment. With our Indigenous partners,
Big Tree will create a revenue generating value to critical biodiversity resources to generate
income, and will establish a platform where the public can participate in the furtherance of our
responsibility to preserve the biodiverse natural assets for all species and our own place within
Nature.

The first Natural Asset Resource Management project - dubbed TGBM-1, - is anticipated to
represent 500,000 hectares of unspoiled Great Boreal Forest. This project will develop
sustainable revenue generation for the First Nations partners for the 20-year life of the project
and represents the opportunity to safeguard this biodiversity asset for the foreseeable future
while generating revenue and jobs through the creation of a fully interactive virtual web-based
biodiversity data resource.
Revenue after development costs and general and administrative expenses will be split 80% to
the participating First Nation and 20% to Big Tree on an annual amortized basis.
Biodiversity loss is the single most pressing issue facing society at this time. It is the intention of
this business to introduce a mechanism that brings the value of biodiversity to the asset
management portfolios of the global public.
