Public Nouns

We at Unchained Elephants are dedicated to improving elephant welfare in Thailand by rescuing elephants from dire conditions and relocating them to ethical sanctuaries. The mission includes educating travelers, establishing an education center, and using NFTs to support these initiatives. Over the past year, we have rescued three elephants—Kanoon, Kham Phaeng, and Mongkoln—reaching millions of people through media coverage.

Unchained Elephants aims to inspire global audiences to join the conservation effort and make a lasting impact on elephant welfare. We are seeking sponsorship for the post-production of their documentary series pilot, UNCHAINED, which highlights these rescues. The pilot will be screened to the community via a token-gated site for NFT holders, gathering feedback before pitching to TV networks. Sponsorship benefits include logo placements, digital exposure, blog posts, and our NFTs for the Public Noun Holders.

Overview

We at Unchained Elephants NFTs are a community of elephant lovers dedicated to promoting elephant welfare in Thailand. Our mission is clear: rescue elephants from dire conditions and relocate them to ethical sanctuaries where they can thrive. We strive for lasting change through education, focusing on traveler awareness, an education center for ethical practices, and rescuing elephants in need. Our project integrates NFT technology to support these initiatives, inviting ownership in our mission of lasting change.

Within the last 12 months, we’ve rescued three elephants—Kanoon, Kham Phaeng & Mongkoln—whose stories reached over 5 million viewers through media coverage, including features on The Dodo and Yahoo News. These rescues, documented in 4K by the renowned filmmaker of Harambe, will be part of our compelling documentary series, UNCHAINED.

The pilot episode of UNCHAINED showcases the rescue of three elephants, each with its own story of struggle and hardship, and each rescue bringing its own emotional rollercoaster with a happy and positive ending. It demonstrates that anyone can make an impact larger than themselves. This episode isn’t just a documentary; it’s a call to action, urging viewers to join the global conservation effort. Through UNCHAINED, we aim to inspire global audiences to engage in conservation and become catalysts for positive change, through immersive elephant rescue narratives.

We are seeking sponsorship/funding for the post-production of the pilot episode of the documentary. The pilot episode will be screened by the community through a token-gated site accessible to holders of specific NFTs, allowing us to gather feedback from the community before further production. Our goal is to develop a compelling and uplifting documentary about how web3 can make a real-life impact and pitch it to a large TV network for the continuation of the series.

Together, let’s make a lasting difference in elephant welfare and rewrite their story for a brighter future with Public Nouns! 🐘

How Does This Initiative Support Public Goods

Supporting the UNCHAINED documentary aligns with Public Nouns’ mission of spreading awareness about public goods and fostering projects to make a real-world impact. By backing our pilot episode, Public Nouns will:

• Educate & Inspire Travelers: Educate travelers and the general public, raising awareness about the mistreatment of elephants and the urgent need for ethical alternatives, inspiring for positive impact.
• Build Awareness: Enhance animal welfare and raise awareness about the mistreatment of animals in the tourism industry, as well as deliver a positive, feel-good message through the documentary.
• Community: Onboard people to our communities and incentivize them to promote public goods by empowering Web3ForGood.
• Distribution: Showcase and highlight Unchained as a public good, supported by innovative projects like Public Nouns to a larger and broad audience.

Supporting the Unchained Pilot Documentary as part of the Unchained Elephants WEB3 project will not only educate about elephant tourism but also raise brand awareness for Public Nouns. We believe education is key to addressing the issues associated with elephant tourism. Increased demand for ethical alternatives will drive the supply to prioritize the well-being of elephants. By backing our documentary, Public Nouns will help us promote a compassionate and sustainable approach to elephant tourism and demonstrate to non-crypto audiences how Web3 can contribute to the greater good.

UNCHAINED Docuseries

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Erik E. Crown, known for his unparalleled ability to merge impactful storytelling with practical solutions, this pilot serves as a powerful marketing tool to pitch the show to major TV networks. Crown’s films, which have attracted attention and acclaim, highlight his commitment to environmental advocacy. The aim of UNCHAINED, is to empower, educate and help viewers evolve to protect this keystone species in Asia, emphasizing the importance of storytelling in driving meaningful change.

THE RESCUE OF MONGKOLN - The Pilot Episode

Mongkoln’s journey to freedom & recovery is a heartwarming tale of resilience and compassion. Now thriving in a sanctuary, he enjoys a peaceful & nurturing environment where he is free to roam and form bonds with other rescued elephants. However, his life was not always so serene. Torn from his mother as a baby and separated from his nanny, Mongkoln was thrust into the world of tourist attractions, locked in a 3x3 pen, waiting for tourists to feed him. Living in constant chains with inadequate nutrition, he was doomed to slavery for the rest of his life like many other animals for “human entertainment.” Fortunately, the combined efforts of six organizations led to his dramatic rescue & relocation, transforming his life from one of suffering to one of hope and healing.

• How is it non-excludable? The documentary is non-excludable because the benefits derived from these efforts are a proof for everyone and showcasing it to a large audience, not just a select few. By improving animal welfare and promoting ethical tourism, we enhance global awareness and compassion. The documentary will educate the public on the realities of elephant tourism, encouraging more ethical practices.

• How is it non-rivalrous? Rescuing and protecting elephants is non-rivalrous because many people can simultaneously enjoy the success stories of the elephant rescues and be encouraged to take positive actions to support public goods. Our documentary will highlight the efforts and positive, feel-good aspects of the story while educating and inspiring individual viewers to promote a healthier and more sustainable environment for all.

About Unchained Elephants

To date, Unchained Elephants has donated $86,000 towards the care and rescue of three elephants since our inception in 2021, during the pandemic.

Our 2 rescues, Kanoon and Kham Phaeng, were recently featured on The Dodo. The videos on their social platforms, Instagram and YouTube, have garnered over 5 million views. We are currently in post-production for our third rescue, Mongkoln, positioning our project in front of millions of animal lovers.

On the web3 side, we are migrating our NFTs to BASE with a new collection designed to be consumer-friendly and onboard newcomers, as most of our audience and supporters are from web2, despite the fact that we are a web3 project. The goal of this collection is to raise funds to complete market the pilot and raise funds for the 4th elephant rescue, which Public Noun’s holders will be a part of.
