Really cool alveus is starting a breeding and release program for endangered species in 2026.

Yeah release stuff is a major W. I honestly get an icky feeling about sanctuaries just being rebranded types of zoos, but releasing animals back into their real habitat is an amazing thing.

1 day ago
Vicc125

A lot of the time, animals in sanctuaries are there because they can't survive in the wild like other members of their species. This is usually because they were mishandled by inexperienced conservationists when the animal was young, leading them to imprint on humans and not other members of their species.

I understand the dislike for zoos, I'm not fond of them myself. But calling sanctuaries rebranded zoos misses the point of what those sanctuaries are trying to accomplish, and it spreads an unsubstantiated narrative about them that undermines the good they're trying to do.

AZA accredited zoos do a ton of good work for animals. Part of being AZA accredited means having conservation and education programs as well as meeting rigorous standards for animal welfare. Roadside zoos are garbage but proper AZA accredited zoos are definitely a good thing.

I’ll also mention that as a long time Maya and Alveus watcher, she has said this many times and when she does have zoo streams she mentions this information explicitly as well as the conservation efforts those zoos do.

That’s something I actually learned from her among lots of other things.

I learned it from Maya lol. Part of the reason why I believe in what she is doing so much is because I know first hand that it works. I’ve personally learned a lot and I even changed my behavior.

I used to not be very concerned about food waste, I would eat all the fries then half a burger then throw the other half away. Now I eat less beef overall but when I do I make sure I eat all the meat on my plate first. She got me to realize an animal died to feed me and it’s really messed up to just throw it in the trash.

BigReeceJames

It feels like this is misinformed too though. These days, most zoos are doing the same. The days of zoos just plucking animals out of the wild for people's entertainment (in civilised countries) are in the past. They're all about conservation and education too and if they're breeding, they're usually working towards upping species diversity with the view to release future animals back into the wild

The issue people have with zoos are that they tend to have small enclosures or cages for their whole lives and that unfortunately carries over to sanctuaries.

The main difference these days (at least where I live) is just paid entry for zoos Vs sanctuaries that rely more on donations

Well a lot of zoos and aquariums now just acquire "rescue" animals the same way to get around the zoo label so meh...

I vastly prefer release programs. The more of that Alveus can do will make me so happy.

My buddy's parents had a farm. Id help out with random shit like clearing a trail, limiting a creeks overflow from heavy rain and other things.

Usually outside, getting a decent workout, and able to see the fruits of your labor. Plus it's not like you are doing it every day! Nice change-up.

Doing that kind of work is fun. Makes me miss it since my friend moved away.

Most of Twitch is trash. Maya is one of the few exceptions. I'm usually of the "don't give money to people who are richer than you'll ever be" group, but Maya's work at Alveus is both noble and educational. If anyone deserves overwhelming support, it's her.

Cheesetoastieee

She's said this a couple of times now but, it used to be she didn't pay herself anything for being the CEO at the start because obv being a streamer she didnt need to, but when she turned 25 (i think? or 26) you can no longer be under your parents health insurance plan. So she moved onto the Alveus health insurance plan she has for all of her other employees because this was apparently easier, cheaper and/or gave more benefits. As part of being able to get on it she needed to be paid something like a minimum of $25k/yr to qualify for the plan. So she actually does pay herself a relatively small wage now. It'll probably be reflected on the next statement

1 day ago
Economy-Tutor1329

It’s pretty simple. Anyone who climbs the Twitch ladder by force is usually a shit manipulative person.

But people who luck into an initial career (like Maya did) are usually closer to a normal human— some good, some bad. Not trying to downplay her success, she really deserves it, just referring to her initial pop.

Seriously. I understand that LSF has always had a bit of a 4chan vibe, what with its whole premise being based around smirking at other people fucking up, but since it became a proxy war for brigaders it's exuded such an unhealthy atmosphere. You can't even plug your ears by blocking the people you assume start these threads and spread their inhumanity over the rest of the forum, as they're everywhere.

I'm glad Maya's influence can be seen in so many different communities, letting people know what you can do when you unplug for a little while. Especially coming from someone who shies from the spotlight.

Can only imagine the weather's only going to get more and more disturbing as we get older, while most of us will continue treating it as just a natural part of life, when it's anything but natural.

Someone dragged my main account into a legitimate debate over whether or not Alveus was located in a literal desert. I obviously was saying no, it is not a desert I live like 20 minutes away from the general area (no idea where alveus is specifically located) and there were like 4 people who were going wild about how alveus is definitely a desert despite several linked pictures of treelines on every horizon and well over double the yearly rainfall of the wettest deserts. It was literally raining, the same rain that ultimately ended up flooding this supposed desert.

This sub has some of the weirdest folks involved sometimes, and it was my bad for even engaging once shit got weird in that convo.

There's no reasoning with a lot of people on this sub. I grew up in Lubbock, been all over Texas.. I think at times people don't understand the scale of Texas. You can go from desert, to plains, to forest, to swamps.

My guess would be she has way overshot the funds needed to do this repair and doesn't even need the streamers to be there but there's communities in texas that were hit far worse than this being ignored the context keeps being about the flood and the road but the money needed was already raised now it's just extra and unrelated to the catastrophe

She's been saying it all along that they more than exceeded the amount needed to repair the road, and that the excess will be going to projects they've been working on for a while like new bird of prey enclosures for the eagles and hawks they're trying to rescue, and to a new breeding and recovery program to help breed endangered species for release to bolster wild populations.

Because they're a non profit with no revenue stream other than Twitch, and that doesn't cover total operations costs for running an animal sanctuary. Also, it's not her streamer friends responsibility to subsidize her sanctuary either. Like most non profits, they rely on charitable donations to continue functioning.

That’s the American governments job, it’s the sole responsibility of any government to provide safety and structure to communities. In the event of a natural disaster, it’s the governments job to send relief, whether that is workers or funds. Look at Canada and its wildfire, look at Japan and its earthquakes. American responds horribly time and time again to natural disasters.

Eques9090 OP

There has been no one claiming this is related specifically to the flash flooding of the Guadalupe River. Only that it's related to the extreme rain and weather happening in TX. People are fully aware of what they're donating their money and time to. People are most inclined to help out the communities they have the closest connection to, which is why streamers and viewers are helping Alveus right now. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, and trying to find fault with anyone involved here is just pathetic.

Just a reminder, the Texas Flood happened nowhere near Austin

Austin still flooded. Might not have been that bad, but Austin is still experiencing flood conditions.

overflowed

Or you know, flooded

and the excess spill caused damage to a road,

It's caused by flooding. For some reason, you dont want to use that word for what's happening in Austin

which can be fixed by contractors within a couple of days...

Maybe, maybe not. My town flooded a few years ago, last time it was this level was pre 70s. Im still waiting for them to fix the road outside my house. It's a main road. Im willing to bet this is a private road to so she'd have to pay for the repair anyway.

Batmans-Butthole

Bro the road got washed away by the same storm event that caused the flash floods. They set a goal of like 10k to replace the road, and her friends and their viewers showed up big time. Everyone knows what they're donating towards. You're talking like she's bandwagoning or profiteering off the Guadalupe River breaking it's banks. It's not that deep. It's definitely a much bigger response than she expected when she set the goal.

1 day ago
Ajp_iii

You are actually stupid. Having the main access road to a massive sanctuary housing that many animals not useable is a very dangerous situation for the animals if they need medical or emergency help that can’t be provided at the sanctuary.

Also for a contractor to fix that road and future proof it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and for a project that big will be longer than a couple days. Also contractors probably busier helping people in even more need.

They will still need to get contractors. Streaming the cleanup has promoted the sanctuary to a much broader audience than the sanctuary already had so now even more can learn or are aware of conservation efforts

It's an all around win situation though. Alveus gets free help on top of donations, and the streamers who donate their time get to participate in a large live stream and get to spend much needed time outside.

Does anyone know why they haven't released an annual report for 2024? Based on the 2023 report, they had a net income of about $320,000.

It sounds like they have a large chunk of money in their coffers already, so I'm confused why they need to take donations for this. Unless they had a really bad year in 2024.

1 day ago
Eques9090 OP

They filed their 2023 report in August of 2024. I'd expect the 2024 report in a similar timeframe.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "need to take donations for this." They're always taking donations, for everything. They're fully donation funded, and want to continually grow. This is an additional expense that would take away from other expenses/projects. It's not as though there's a cap on the donations they'd like to have or can put to good use.

1 day ago
[deleted]

Thanks for the info on when the last report was released. I couldn't find that information originally on their website, but I see the date now in their official Form 990 filing.

I must've misunderstood the situation regarding donations. It sounded like they were taking specific donations for this, which I'd have assumed was built into the budget in regard to things like repairs, but I suppose not.

I was probably over-critical. I'm generally supportive of this idea, but anything run by Twitch streamers makes me suspicious due to the inevitable parasocial relationship they have with their audience.

A non-profit should always take money, to expand and make a greater impact. There are more animals that need help and they need more money for that. They have always been transparent, the delay on the report is probably with reason and since they have always released it I'm sure it will be released eventually.

Everything they're doing right now is temporary to limit damage and help the water drain. The road will need to be fully repaired with contractors once it's drained.

They are donating money to an animal sanctuary who's income stems mainly from social media, you moron. The "millionaires" are spending time helping with the hard labour process and bringing more attention to the cause.

when most people there have lost homes and more

Yes that is sad as well, but that doesn't make the situation at Alveus any less important when they were affected by the exact same fucking flood. Donating to Alveus is much more easy and accessible for the average person as well.

I hope you one day improve your critical thinking skills to a high enough level that you don't embarrass yourself so confidently.

Edit: I fucking love when they clearly ignore replies like mine because they can't find anything to argue in bad faith

Bro she literally said in a video that none of the animals are harmed and they are all safe, none of the infrastructure is damaged "nothing crazy or scary has happened at Alveus"

They are literally working on the only "problem" with Alveus, which is a small reservoir. But please, Think of the millionaires lol

Yes that is sad as well, but that doesn't make the situation at Alveus any less important when they were affected by the exact same fucking flood

Oh no, they need like 20 tons of dirt to fix the road they can still get by... simp

But don't get me wrong, simp. It's cool they are coming together to help eachother. I'm simply making fun of you dono's haha you're literally idiots

With all the bullshit and misinformation you spew, I'm thoroughly convinced you have a humiliation kink

Also, you use the word "literally" so much like you just learned it - and believe if you use it enough - people you respond to will think it's fact LOL

this is bait, but a road is like, the quintessential example of 'infrastructure'. like, if you google 'infrastructure' photos you just get pictures of roads.

I wouldn't worry about it. You can't question anything related to Alveus here. People will just downvote reflexively b/c this is LSF's little darling project. I will say, though, the sanctuary appears to be legitimate by all accounts.

I'm with you in finding it a bit distasteful how much money is being raised to fix this stupid road. They've certainly raised WAY more than they need already to fix it, and it pays to have rich streamer friends who have audiences primed to give away their money for things like this. Without a doubt, the streamers themselves could've EASILY covered the costs associated with fixing this road, but why do that when you can milk and IRL stream off going to the location to "help"?

In the end, though, people are free to spend their money on whatever they want. And tons of people have already proven they love giving away their money to streamers, so it is what it is.

This is not about the amount but the number of supporters.
Example, 1 mil giving by one person is not the same as 100 000 giving you 10$.
It's simply not the same impact when it come to support.

It's like the Twitch subs record, like Kai/Ironmouse etc.. their record are insane in term of $$$.
But when talking in term of support... Ninja record is crazy because it's 269000 people who said I want to support you. There's no gifted for Ninja, Kai got 728k (which is fcking insane don't get me wrong), but 90% of it, is gift subs. So it not all supporters, it's mostly just bystanders.

Legendary grifter and clout chaser, she's milked so much money from dumbfuck streamers and viewers who are desperate to virtue signal and are so stuck in their perpetual need to stay relevant they cant just donate money quietly to a charity without making it all about themselves.

I get what she is doing is good in general but I don't like how she made these floods about her road that needs some repairs instead of helping the people that need it more.

They should close ALL animal conservancies and put that money towards people that need it more. Smh dumb take

Having hobbies is fine but shouldn't be framed as a charity.

Its not her job to help victims of the flood. Your government is supposed to be doing that. That's why you pay taxes.

What's the long term goal here? What if twitch shuts down? What if she becomes irrelevant in the streaming space? Where is she going to get the money from then? Genuinely curious

...probably go somewhere else to stream? like this little place called YouTube.

The long term goal is definitely to maintain Alveus as primarily funded via content creation, be it twitch, youtube or some new thing. Alveus is a none profit so there is no pressure to make a return on investment, she just has to keep the lights on and keep the animals fed

If for whatever reason content creation was to suddenly dry up there are options

  • Government grants/subsidies
  • opening to the public and using traditional fundraising techniques
  • (long shot) becoming affiliated with a university or research institution that can provide funding

    but it would become pretty challenging for her to keep it funded so content creation is the goal

:smile:

she has many connections in the conservation world. look at her previous podcast, Conservation Cast, on which she brought lots of great guests to speak about what they're knowledgeable about (this is how she met Connor, Alveus' director of operations). beyond her growing presence on twitch, youtube, instagram, etc, she would absolutely find ways to continue growing operations if any or all of these platforms suddenly vanished overnight.

What would I rather be?

  1. A person who supports an animal sanctuary

  2. A person who asks questions in bad faith related to a charity event for said animal sanctuary

Are these accounts actually bought? I kinda figured they are just so shitty that they constantly have to delete their entire history just to not have people check their history and be like "Jesus, you suck".

Which would make sense here.

“The biggest virtue signal organization ever” Umm… the proof that the money actually goes towards something is literally right in front of your eyes. You can SEE the entire sanctuary.

🤡 sybau, the money they will have left over will be used for new enclosures (it’s on the screen too), so what’s your problem? They have bills either way, and people want to keep this going. You’re obviously broke and have never felt the touch of a woman, but keep being frustrated elsewhere, you clown.
