Unchained Elephants, a community dedicated to promoting elephant welfare in Asia, is on a mission to rescue a fourth elephant from dire conditions and relocate it to an ethical sanctuary, free from tourism exploitation. With the support of Nouns, this rescue can become a reality!
Two of our elephant rescues have been featured on The Dodo, The World's #1 Animal Brand, with millions of views on their channels, with a third story currently in production. We have developed a strong relationship with The Dodo, which covers these amazing elephant stories on their channels (please read disclaimer below). Currently, we are exploring two different cases and organizing the logistics to make a 4th rescue happen.
Funding for the resuce: Proposed budget 38,700USD

Introduction
Unchained Elephants is a web3 project dedicated to improving elephant welfare by rescuing elephants from dire conditions and relocating them to ethical sanctuaries. Our mission includes educating travelers, establishing an education center, and using Blockchain to support these initiatives. Over the past 12 months, we've rescued three elephants—Kanoon, Kham Phaeng, and Mongkoln—whose stories have reached over 5 million viewers through media coverage, including features on The Dodo and Yahoo News.
Although we are a web3 project, most of our community members and supporters come from web2 (80%), helping us crowdfund our rescue initiatives. On the web3 side, we have our hybrid collection on BASE, our token is $ELiZ, and for every 1.8M tokens purchased on the DEX, you get a unique NFT. As part of this cooperation and as a token of appreciation, we offer 1 NFT/1.8M $ELiZ tokens for each Noun holder.
To date, Unchained Elephants has donated $86,000 towards the care and rescue of three elephants, as well as the care of eight elephants during the pandemic when we started.
1 - Elephant Rescue Fund - Budget: 38,700 USD
We are working on our 4th elephant rescue, the rescue date To Be Confirmed but within 1 to 2 months after receiving the funds, as the process of buying the freedom of an elephant takes meticulous preparation and coordination. In our previous rescues, we rallied our community to raise funds through traditional crowdfunding and sales of NFTs (80/20). This time, the goal will be to launch a fully web3 Elephant Noun rescue, currently we have 2 potential cases we are looking into it but there a lot of due diligence as well as preparation to relocate an elephant take up a few weeks. The most critical side is that we need to ensure that the rescued elephant will not be replaced by another, thereby fostering the elephant trade. We work with accredited elephant sanctuaries by World Animal Protection, so we carefully relocate the elephants to an accredited elephant sanctuary.
Value Proposition to Nouns:
We are supported by the Dodo as 2 our rescues have been featured on their channels and we are working with them on the video that features the 3rd rescue. We have established a relationship with them and based on the story we will be able to make get a featured video with on their channel.
** Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee outcomes as we do not control the publication process. However, there is a very high likelihood of success, provided that the narrative fits the intended direction of their stories.**
Our 1st Rescue of Kanoon (1.2M views on YouTube alone):
Our 2nd Rescue of Kham Phaeng on X:
Our 3rd Rescue, Mongkoln, soon to be featured on The Dodo:
During our rescues, we bring photographers and video crew to document the whole rescue.

✓ Prominent Logo Placement in the Main Videos
✓ Custom Social Media Content
✓ Logo on the T-shirts during the rescue
✓ Dedicated video of the rescue with the Nouns logo
