Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Faunalytics' Plans & Priorities For 2024, published by JLRiedi on December 14, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum.
Faunalytics' mission is to empower animal advocates to effectively end animal suffering. As such, what advocates think about our work is of the utmost importance. Feedback like the quote above is especially rewarding, and all the more motivating as we plan for another productive and informative year ahead on behalf of animals and advocates alike.
In 2024, we have big plans to conduct more Original Research than ever before, expand our Library in exciting new ways, and build upon the research support services that we provide for the movement. We'll be assessing opportunities to increase our impact, and we'll be working hard to live up to our status as an Animal Charity Evaluators Recommended Charity. Read on to learn all about our upcoming plans, and how you can help us succeed in our mission.
A New Original Research Agenda
Faunalytics is thrilled to share that our 2024 Original Research plans will support many different advocacy types and tactics. We'll cover topics including political advocacy, youth advocacy, global advocacy, equity and inclusion, consumer behavior, and capacity building. In 2024, we plan to hire a Projects Manager to help our team continue to be as efficient as possible as we bring more and more research to the animal protection community.
In-Progress Studies Coming Soon
Collaborative Opportunities with Environmental Organizations: We're working to identify environmentalists' perspectives on potential opportunities for, and challenges of, collaborating with animal advocates.
Benchmarking Compensation in the Farmed Animal Protection Movement: Salary transparency and benchmarking are important tools for a fair and equitable movement, and this study will provide insights to support advocates and organizations alike.
The Impact of Humanewashing on Consumer Behavior: Our simulated shopping experiment will shed light on whether humanewashing helps consumers justify their consumption of animal products.
Conservative Political Values with Respect to Animal Advocacy: We're investigating ways that U.S. animal advocates can potentially leverage conservative political values to make headway for animals.
International Advocacy Strategies and Needs: We're uncovering the reasons why animal protection groups in different regions and circumstances choose particular approaches to advocacy, and what resources they would need in order to expand their efforts.
Chicken and Fish Substitution Meta-Analysis: Are consumers giving up one kind of animal product only to eat another? We're working with Rethink Priorities to answer this question and to help animal advocates navigate this issue.
2024 Upcoming Research Agenda
Effective Communication with Legislative Staffers: We'll interview political staffers about their preferences and recommendations for communication, reporting on the most effective strategies with input from advocates who have engaged with legislative teams successfully.
Voter Response to a Pro-Animal, Anti-Subsidy Candidate: With a focus on the U.S. and Brazil (high-impact, highly subsidized), we'll present hypothetical candidates in a real election context to better understand voter response.
A Case Study of the Impact of Humane Education & Leadership Training: In collaboration with New Roots Institute (formerly FFAC), we'll examine the long-term impact of their humane education leadership program.
Fostering A Pro-Animal, Socially Aware Gen Z: We'll conduct focus groups to better understand Gen Z's current social and/or environmental concerns, and explore areas for advocates to pursue engagement (e.g. education, career, lifestyle).
Balancing Inclusivity with an Animal-Oriented Mission: In partnership with Dr. Ahmmad Brown of Northwestern Uni...
