Very cool, thanks for making this! Where does the data come from? How is it decided which orgs are included?
Thanks for sharing, I definitely have the same feeling. Especially on the ābut I canāt codeā bit. Iām gonna read through that Blue Dot course curriculum, it seems like a good step for people in this stage of thinking.
āDonāt worry too much about overlap. Chances are there is demand for many organizations doing the same thing or that youāll fill a slightly different niche than the original organization.ā
I think this is good advice. Thereās a lot of (justified) focus on neglectedness in EA, but this is often confused with one-of-a-kind-ness, when in reality there can be multiple organizations providing the same service and it is still neglected/āin short supply. EAs who want to help can found new projects that are basically just using a pre-existing template in another context/āniche.
Amazing website! This does fill a need; now I have a simple, single-link resource to share with other animal activists/āEAs/āetc with whom Iād like to convey the importance of wild animal suffering.
āNone of this progress was inevitable. It was mostly the result of sustained and focused advocacy, much of it done and funded by all of you.ā
This is so important to remember. Unlike progress in tech, economic growth, etc, which often feel like the inevitable trends of progress (sometimes our efforts even focus on figuring out ways to slow progress, like in AI), animal welfare runs the risk of falling by the wayside. Itās very important for us to be proactive and not take any change for granted. Most (all?) of these corporate pledges were due to hard-fought, strategic pressure from effective animal advocacy groups.
Awesome work, Dustin! So glad that this exists.
