# Environmental Awareness NFTs Burly Bears is a Project That Challenges Stigmas Surrounding Nfts By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2021-11-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burly-bears References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/burly-bears-nft-release-from-renown-digital-artist-diablo-offers-visionary-collectors-long-term-value-and-positive-environmental-impact-301414384.html)  Burly Bears is an [NFT project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-energy) that's on a mission to "eliminate the stigma that NFTs are a net-negative for the environment." Created by artist Diablo, the [hand-drawn digital artwork series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rt-dragon) features 6,601 bears that have been generated to represent [six endangered species](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camp-aspen). Of eight species of bears in the world, six are endangered, including the Gobi, Spirit, Sun, Panda, Spectacled and Polar bears. 20% of all Burly Bear sales will go towards supporting a public charity wallet of six identified charities, each of which is devoted to saving one of the six species. A portion of the proceeds from secondary sales will also be donated, continuing to helo protect the bears. After claiming a bear, an owner will have the chance to get rewarded after completing a "hibernation period" by holding a Burly Bear NFT for 10 days after the Public Sale. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Environmental Nfts:** Creating NFT artwork as a means of fundraising for environmental causes. - **Sustainable Cryptocurrency:** Developing cryptocurrencies with lower carbon footprints and promoting eco-friendly blockchain technology. - **Socially Conscious Cryptocurrency:** Using cryptocurrency to support philanthropic causes through donations linked to blockchain transactions. ### Where This Applies - **Artificial Intelligence:** AI can be used to optimize and automate environmental NFT creation and cryptocurrency transactions. - **Nonprofit:** Organizations can benefit from fundraising opportunities provided by socially conscious cryptocurrency and NFTs. - **Blockchain:** Blockchain technology can provide a secure and transparent platform for environmentally friendly NFTs and cryptocurrency transactions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Bear NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bodacious-bears.md) - [Polar Bear-supporting Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keep-it-wild.md) - [Teddy Bear NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teddy-bear-nfts.md) - [NFT Teddy Bears](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/care-bears-and-recur.md) - [Outdoor Ecosystem Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vital-ground-foundation.md) - [Cartoonish NFT Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-like-you-youre-weird.md) - [Non-Profit NFT Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guerlain-nft-collection.md) - [Beer-Branded Digital Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiger-archives.md) - [Animal-Inspired Habitat Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endangered-animal-lip-balm.md)
