what's Untamed Elephants?

Untamed Elephants is a pioneering mission-driven NFT community operating on both Ethereum and Bitcoin Ordinals, dedicated to protecting African and Asian elephants. Launched as one of the earliest charity-focused NFT projects, it features a core collection of 7,500 unique elephant NFTs with utilities including staking for rewards, merging with companion NFTs (airdropped birds), and limited editions like Untamed Matriarchs and artist collaborations such as Conservation Cards and Cypher Phants on Ordinals. The project donates half of royalties monthly to partners like Save The Elephants, Elephant Crisis Fund, and Saving Ganesh, having raised over $75,000 while fostering community engagement through events and merchandise NFTs backed by real-world items like wine. Elephants serve as keystone species, maintaining ecosystems by digging water sources, dispersing seeds, and shaping landscapes. Untamed Elephants raises awareness and funds activist efforts, including international rescue missions, through transparent charity mechanisms and collaborations with artists and wineries. Holders benefit from herd power boosts, exclusive perks, and a vibrant Discord community, blending conservation impact with NFT collectibility.
