Crowdfunding makes it possible for large groups of people who contribute a little money to accomplish big things. In many places in the world, beautiful parts of nature are privately owned by wealthy people. Crowdfunding can bring such places back to the public. An inspiring example just happened in New Zealand where a crowdfunding campaign was launched to buy a private beach back for the public. Crowdfunding can protect the commons.
