WHERE I STARTED

Bring the attention back to living animals.

Jurassic gives a large audience a shared interest in extinct creatures. I used that connection to frame a conservation campaign for species still here. The difficult part is giving that attention somewhere useful to go. Each proposed partnership needs a specific action and a way to report what it supports.

THE CHOICE

“Universal created a world united by dinosaurs. Now it can unite that world to prevent the next extinction.”

WORKING THROUGH IT

Give the first partners a clear job.

01

UNIVERSAL OPENS THE DOOR

The first proposal asks Universal to approve one screening and the campaign’s film references. Parks and streaming enter as later formats.

02

SCIENCE SETS THE PRIORITIES

One participating conservation organization selects the black-rhino field project and reviews the species story. The wider coalition remains a later partner study.

03

EVERY INDUSTRY HAS A JOB

The first film and poster introduce the animal. The foyer display explains the proposed work. Infrastructure and industry partners enter only through later project-specific agreements.

04

THE WORLD FUNDS THE WORK

Visitors contribute through the selected organization’s own project page. The first edition reports what was received and what it paid for. A new fund belongs to the expanded proposal.

PROPOSED FIRST EDITION

One screening. One living species.

Jurassic can open a much larger conversation. I would begin in a cinema foyer, where the audience is already there. The first edition follows the black rhino from the hero image into one proposed black-rhino monitoring project, selected and scoped by a participating conservation organization.

THE FIRST OFFER
One proposed Jurassic screening, with Universal as the rights partner and one conservation organization. A staffed display introduces the project. The proposed recipient identifies the field work and a direct donation route. The display would explain that agreed brief.
HOW YOU TAKE PART
The poster leads to the screening. After the film, a short field story brings the visitor back to a living animal. A source card lets them read further or choose to contribute directly to the named project.
WHAT I WOULD DELIVER
The first design package is the hero poster and foyer display, with a short film treatment and a mobile project page. The campaign’s field language carries through each. No new global fund is needed to test that connection.
BEFORE IT GROWS
Can a visitor name the species and explain the funded work after seeing the display? Record visits to the recipient’s page separately from donations. Before another edition, publish the actual contribution and the recipient’s update.

Where it could go next

The full coalition and all ten intervention designs remain below. Crossings and river restoration belong to later partner-led editions, each with its own brief and budget. The first screening has to show that the audience follows the story into a specific action.

THE IDENTITY

A JURASSIC CAMPAIGN FOR LIVING SPECIES.

Use the Jurassic title treatment and familiar warning colors to establish the host. Give each proposed partner space to explain its contribution instead of filling the layout with logos.

THE VISUAL LANGUAGE

DEEP TIME MEETS THE EMERGENCY NOW.

Jurassic history supplies the opening scale and awe. The campaign then follows living animals through damaged habitats to the systems capable of protecting them. Dinosaurs attract attention. Living species give people a reason to act.

THE WIDER DESIGN STUDY

The following designs explore later editions. Their rollout depends on the first encounter working and each partner agreeing its part.

SELF-INITIATED / SPECULATIVE MASTER CAMPAIGNALL PARTNERSHIPS, PRODUCTS, FUNDING MECHANICS, TECHNOLOGY, AND IP USE ARE PROPOSED
WHY I MADE THIS

The film that taught me to look backward inspired me to protect what comes next.

Growing up, Jurassic Park shaped my fascination with dinosaurs and the science of the natural world. That curiosity has stayed with me. Entertainment can hold attention long enough to change what someone wants to learn.

I made The 66th Million to explore that possibility. A franchise that introduced millions to extinction could rally those same people to prevent it. The concept imagines a global coalition working through one story to protect living species.

A PROPOSED JURASSIC CAMPAIGN FOR LIVING SPECIES.

THE CULTURAL PREMISE
“Dinosaurs had their chance, and nature selected them for extinction. This isn't some species that was obliterated by deforestation or the building of a dam.”
DR. IAN MALCOLM / JURASSIC PARK
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS / HERO HOST

One world. One living future.

Jurassic has held audiences’ attention for more than 30 years. This proposal uses that interest to introduce living species affected by human development. Each partner would need an action to fund or carry out, with a record people can inspect.

FUNDING PROMISE100%

The expanded merchandise study proposes directing all net proceeds to a fund. Production costs and the recipient would be agreed before any sales claim. The first screening uses the field organization’s own contribution route.

WHY UNIVERSAL WINNING MATTERS

The host becomes the proof.

01

FOLLOW THE FIRST CONTRIBUTION

The conservation work would need to continue after the launch. A later campaign edition should be able to show what the first one funded.

02

IT USES UNRIVALED REACH

Film and Peacock introduce the idea. Parks and product releases offer other ways to participate, with the same funding information available across them.

03

KEEP THE LIVING ANIMAL VISIBLE

Universal uses the cultural power of extinct animals to protect living ones.

THE MASTER CAMPAIGN PROMISE

The dinosaurs are gone. Species disappearing today can still be protected. This movement asks the audience that looked backward in wonder to see the losses around them and act together.

ONE WORLD. ONE COALITION.
THE NEXT EXTINCTION IS OURS TO STOP.

WHERE THE CONCEPT STANDS

The proposal needs visible follow-through.

The first proposed edition connects one screening to a living-species story and a named field project. The full coalition designs show later possibilities. The next decision depends on whether visitors understand the action and what the recipient can report, with no launched campaign or conservation result claimed.
