Nouns Shelter is a temporary name and we are currently working on updating this to something that can be turned into a media brand name
Proliferating Nouns through animal shelter awareness, adoption campaigns, and supporting shelter homes.
My name is Coral Ding and I'm creating a media brand focusing on spreading awareness of animal welfare opportunities with Sharon Liu and Kiki Zhang. We are interested in proliferating the Nouns brand through public goods in China by working directly with established shelter stations in Beijing this winter while growing an authentic media presence focused on helping rescue animals in need.
I've been exploring the world of Web3 for the past few years on and off and meeting the Nouns team at The International this year in Seattle was the first time I've felt such a profound meaning towards public goods. I am so thankful for projects like Nouns Esports, Mucho Love, and the rest of the community for building a community that has motivated me to explore how I could provide value back to the community too.
With the global economy dwindling, support for stray animals which is primarily donation based has gone to an all time low in the past decade and China has started to take a strict approach towards strays by euthenizing instead of rehoming shelter animals as the winter season approaches.
Across all social media, distressing posts have surfaced pleading for assistance for abandoned stray animals due to lack of medical care and adoption prospects. I had the opportunity to meet one of the heroes focusing on rescuing and sheltering these strays named Qiuqiu, a tireless volunteer who has selflessly dedicated herself to rescuing and sheltering over 200 dogs and 100 cats in Beijing, China. Admist shifting policies and market challenges, she has been able to rent six different locations to provide these animals refuge, but as winter approaches, urgent help is needed to sustain their care. Qiuqiu's shelters are struggling to cope with the increasing demands for warmth, food, medical care, and volunteer support.
Our goal is to establish the foundation for a Nouns media brand that is focused on supporting animal welfare and sharing the stories of animal rescue volunteers to the global audience.
We would like to begin our plans through working with established partners to host a charity event, focusing on phased releases of Nouns mini shelter homes, providing pet food through the winter, and a creation of consistent media showcasing our partners and the loving pets of their communities.
The proposed event would take place from January 1, 2024 through March 15, 2024 and will focus on two primary intiatives:
Food Donations in the name of Nouns Community
Nouns Mini Shelter Production & Distribution
Nouns Mini Shelters are permanent insulated shelters built for helping stray animals stay warm through the winter weather of Northern China. Our Nouns Mini Shelters have gone through four iterations of development and utilize PVC insulation film and tin foil insulated cotton to maintain structural integrity through the weight of winter snow and each comes equipped with blankets inside to house up to 4-6 animals each.
Based on previous years, these mini shelters have a 60% retention rate through each winter and can be reutilized the following year. Human theft is the highest cause of loss of these shelters and we will be choosing rural locations with a high density of stray animals to reduce the loss of these shelters.
Brand Visibility and Recognition: The establishment of a Nouns-branded shelter room within Qiuqiu's shelter, as well as the 300+ durable Nouns Mini Shelters, presents an exclusive branding opportunity for Nouns . This designated space allows for the incorporation of Nouns-themed content, enhancing brand visibility while aligning with the values of compassion and community support.
Increasing Nouns' influence in China and the field of animal protection: The collaboration will facilitate a continuous flow of animal protection events and awareness programs centered around animal welfare and responsible adoption practices in Beijing. Nouns involvement fostering a positive impact on societal values.
We have taken the time to build a network of creators who support animal adoption and protecting stray animals and will work to proliferate Nouns Shelter through partners such as 予人玫瑰小院 (Rose Stray Animal Rescue), 秋与猫的世界 (QiuQiu's Cat Universe), and have received support from the following celebrities:
