About this project
THE BIG IDEA
Young people look at movies and video games as ways to be amazed and
entertained, but there are even more exciting things to discover in the
natural world. We believe God created the earth as the most exciting and
entertaining production in history. We want to show young people how to
appreciate and steward it well.
IT'S ABOUT THE PLANET
It's a sad truth that the only thing disappearing more rapidly than animal species is the appreciation our children have for the amazing biodiversity we enjoy. Most children are convinced that they have to look to made-up games or cartoons to see awesome things, but the truth is the earth is a never-ending wonder if you just know where to look. Introducing Zoonz. We want to share the excitement of wildlife with others, especially kids, so we created a way to do that.
WHAT ARE ZOONZ?
Zoonz were born out of a concept we’ve been working on for the past four years. Zoonz are fun, collectable animal cards that show biodiversity in a new way, a way that will foster a life-long appreciation for the wildlife of this planet. The reason it's hard to grasp the scope of the planet's diversity is that it is difficult to see very many different animals at once. With Zoonz, that problem is solved!
HOW WILL CHILDREN EXPERIENCE THE SCOPE OF THE PLANETS DIVERSITY WITH ZOONZ?
With your help, thousands of young people will be introduced to tens of thousands of unique animals over the course of this project. We want to see
kids everywhere learning to appreciate and care about biodiversity
through collecting, and learning with Zoonz.
HOW DO CHILDREN GET NEW ZOONZ?
These cards will be available by subscription with 25 new releases coming every single month. Before a child has even finished taking in all the information, a new release will come in the mail. It builds fasts, and there are so many animals out there that we could literally produce Zoonz at this rate for 10,000 years before we run out of species!
HOW WILL MY SUPPORT BE USED?
For Zoonz to get off the ground we need to purchase the rights to additional artwork and photos, then finish designing and printing our initial production run.
ZOONZ MAKES A GREAT GIFT IDEA.
You can give the fun gift of learning about wildlife, and collecting to a young person in your life. Plus, Zoonz is a gift that keeps on giving...every month!
I CAN GET A LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION AS A REWARD?!?
YES! As a special thank you for being a very significant part of helping this project succeed, if you support the project at the $250 level or higher, you will be awarded a LIFETIME subscription. As long as new Zoonz are being printed and sent out as a subscription, you will continue receiving them every month.
