DECEMBER MIGRATION OF TIERS: ONE MONTH TO GO! 🐃
Dear friends, and holders of the collection!
While the posts have become much less frequent, we are still your anchor of stability in these challenging times. And, today, the ARL team invites you to reflect on the Red List, and get ready in advance for its anticipated update:
📌 First and foremost - our team is looking forward to more Tier4 animals, and that this time no new extinct species will be added to Tier0. As you can guess, any changes will have a positive impact on our collection, but this is a time when thinking about the ecology, and biodiversity of species on the planet, is important. It’s better than thinking about possible, additional X's;
📌 Anyway, it's nice to know that the ARLs are the successors, and promoters, of the Red Leaf idea: it's nice to know that the collection lives and changes with the way different animal species live and change;
📌 As of right now, our team is working on numerous extra updates to the collection, many of which will please you greatly. As soon as our work comes to something tangible, and is in more or less final form - we'll announce, and then present you what was hidden behind the veil of mystery for so long. The main thing is to have patience, and faith, in our project ,without getting sucked in by provocations. Here comes the caravan! 🐫
📌 The updates also covered the content sections. And right now our specialists are developing new events, columns and features to entertain you while reading us!
Enjoy a productive week, and take care of the nature, friends!
Donate stats for September 🐾
And, now it's time for a recap. Our team has compiled some exciting stats, for you, about our September donations! We will donate to our fund a little later - as soon as technical problems are fixed. We’ll tell you about those, and show you the check attached.
And, traditionally, news first:
- Tier0 and Tier4 are equal to Tier1, in percentage of distributions across the board.
- Tier0 and Tier4 have a separate donation pool ⚡️
It is now 10% of the total fees, and it is distributed equally between Tier0 and Tier4.
📍 Now let's get to the numbers:
- Tier0 and Tier4 split 198 TON in half.
- There are 259 TON distributed among all Tier1 participants.
- NFT Mammals holders received a total of 289 TON.
- Holders of two coins received 301 TON
In total, owners got: 1414 TON
Autumn is cruelly cold, but we are not discouraged, and keep warm with tea. We advise you to wear a hat, and warm clothes. Have a nice weekend, everyone! ☕️
🖼 THE JAPANESE CRANE IN ARL 🕊
Friends, today we wish to tell you about the Japanese crane, and some amazing stories related to this amazing bird!
Name: ARL Grus Japonensis
Tier: 3
SubTier: Mythical
Class: Birds
📌 The Japanese Crane has long been under protection. Nowadays, the population of this species has increased, but the danger still exists. Human beings remain the main threat to the Japanese Crane. Construction work in its habitat areas, drying out wetlands, road building, as well as other human activities, can lead to the total extinction of this species.
📌 Frequently people harm not only nature, but also themselves. Thus, a symbol of the Hiroshima tragedy was a Japanese girl, Sadako Sasaki, and origami of a Japanese crane. August 6, 1945, the first atomic bomb was dropped on Japanese territory. Sadako struggled with the dire consequences of radiation sickness, and believed in the legend that if one collects 1000 paper cranes, then the most secret wish will come true. Sadako went down in history, thanks to her courage and tenacity, and the Japanese crane has forever become a symbol of the fight for life.
ARL keeps working for the benefit of endangered species. Endangered wildlife inspires us to create NFTs that have also become a symbol of love for the environment, and nature.

Stay tuned for the ongoing Bird Week, and keep our little brothers safe! 🦚
BIRD'S WEEK: WHALE-HEAD 🐋
Bird Week at ARL is going on! Today. we're talking about the shoebill, the owner of possibly the most impressive beak in our collection.
🖼 WHALE-HEAD IN ARL 🦍
Name: ARL Balaeniceps Rex
Tier: 3
SubTier: Mythical
Class: Birds
💧 WHY ARE THEY GOING EXTINCT? 🩸
The shoebill (another name for the whale-head) holds the status of a protected animal. The main reason for the extinction of this species is human activity: people destroy the habitat of the shoebill. People often ravage their nests, but their eggs are of little value. Currently, researchers count 10-15 thousand shoebills.
LIFESTYLE AND FACTS
- The whalehead is a very large bird (and it's not just evident from their beak!). Their height reaches 1-1.2 m, while their wingspan is 2-2.5 m;
- One of the main features of a whale-head is the structure of its head. Most birds have eyes on both sides of the head. The whale-head is with eyes in the front part of the head, allowing it to see the world around in three dimensions.
- Lots of lovely shots of whale-headed birds exist. We can say that these birds are big fans of posing: during hunting, the bird is very patient and stays still for a long time. Thus, they become great models for photographers.

🎡 THEME WEEK 🎲
Our dear holders, and animal lovers! 🐾
It's time to determine who our next theme week will be dedicated to. Just like last time, let's trust the roulette to make that exciting decision!
Next Theme Week begins on Monday, September 19th, and will be about...
BIRDS FROM THE WHOLE WORLD
We're already gearing up for another theme week, and gathering fun facts for our posts. Who should we dedicate a longread for this coming theme week? Post your thoughts in the comments! 👇🏻
SEA CUCUMBER WEEK: PINEAPPLE SEA CUCUMBER 🍍
Continuing the week of sea cucumbers! Today we're talking about the pineapple sea cucumber, an unusual member of our collection.
🖼 PINEAPPLE SEA CUCUMBER IN ARL 🦍
Name: ARL Thelenota Ananas
Tier: 2
SubTier: Common
Class: Sea Cucumber
💧 WHY IS IT GOING EXTINCT? 🩸
The pineapple sea cucumber is the most popular species of trepangs eaten in China and other Southeast Asian countries. Scientists have confirmed that pineapple sea cucumbers are good for the human body, because they contain antioxidants as well as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and antiviral properties. That’s what makes them such a popular product.
LIFESTYLE AND FACTS
📌 The holothuria's body is rapidly regenerative. It can completely regenerate even from a quarter of its body, with a new holothuria also growing from the other part.
📌 In case of danger, the sea cucumber explodes, ejecting its intestines, hoping to escape while the predator eats the discarded parts.
📌 The pineapple sea cucumber is one of the largest species of holothuria. And its size is difficult to measure because it shrinks when touched in any way and enlarges when moved, so scientists determine the size of holothuria only from photographs.

What do you think of this amazing creature: scary or fascinating? Let us know in the comments 🐾
WHY THE CUCUMBERS? 🥒
As you know, this week is dedicated to the amazing creatures of the holothuria. Another name for them is "sea cucumbers.” So why are they addressed like that?
📌 Calling them "sea cucumbers" is not a coincidence. Apparently, researchers noticed the unusual property of holothuria to shrink, and become covered in bubbles, when touched. After such a metamorphosis, holothuria do resemble an ordinary cucumber from the vegetable garden... ⛳️
📌 For all their funny appearance, holothuria are the most important aquatic inhabitants. For example, sea cucumbers recycle the remains of plants, and other living creatures, deposited on the seabed.
The ARL project considers these representatives worthy of special attention, not only to conservationists, but also to holders! We won't reveal all the cards at once, but let's just say that our cucumber holders will definitely be happy at the end of the week!..! 🐾
Back after a long time😱
Sea turtle babies, Loggerheads (Caretta caretta), were recently discovered on the coast of New Orleans.
You might be thinking, "So what? Like turtles, so what?" But it's not that simple. These are not your average sea turtles - they are a very rare species, as they were last seen many years ago, and it was suspected that Loggerheads were extinct! 🤯
Current population situation.
The number of turtles living in the wild is extremely difficult to track. Their populations are very scattered, and they make distant migrations.😔
What does a Loggerhead look like?
- An adult Loggerhead turtle reaches a length of 70-95 cm, and a weight of 80 to 200 kg.
- The heart-shaped carapace, covered with horny shields, is brown, reddish-brown, or olive in color. Its back has five pairs of rib shields, which distinguishes it from other sea turtle species.
- The head is very massive, and covered with large shields. The upper part of the head slightly protrudes ahead of the lower part, but does not have such a pronounced beak at the end, as in the Bissa turtle.
They are also true polyglots; they are practically the only turtles that can understand the "language" of dolphins.
This discovery proves that the animals are fighting for their existence, and do not want to disappear! 😇
We sincerely hope that those animals that moved to Tier-0 will soon be found, and continue their beautiful lineage.🥰
THE LION'S SHARE OF ART 🦁
Friends, today we wish to talk about lions, and their place in art!
📌 Big cats have always fascinated creators: poems were written about them, they were depicted in paintings, movies were shot (remember the Metro Goldwyn Mayer screensaver?). Our team got curious about the image of the lion in sculpture, specifically St. Mark's Lion. The lion of St. Mark is a true symbol of Venice: images and monuments dedicated to him are spread all over the city. Venetians are proud of this image, and still depict the winged lion on flags, documents, and in architecture.
📌 The ARL project, in turn, is proud of the images of lions that have become NFT. In this way, our artists have not only immortalized these proud beasts, in a relevant and modern way, but have also attracted the attention of many people interested in preserving the lion population on our planet.
💎 Our lion at GetGems

🌿 HURRY UP! 🐸
Friends!!!
Did you know that as early as tomorrow we'll be selecting the winners of our green Airdrop, who will receive the long-awaited NFT TON Frogs!
❗️Important: Only owners of ARL toads and frogs are eligible to participate in the Airdrop.
Hurry up and pick your frogs so that fortune can jump right into your hands!
See you at the ARL 🐾
Mint for TON — a special joy.
Both you and I have a vested interest in the widespread dissemination and acceptance, the mass adoption, of TON and NFT blockchain on this network.
Although our marketing machine has already come a long way, and interest in the beasts is consistently high, this is not the end of the road.
Although numerous "hunters" are lurking in the wilds, before casting about for an NFT that catches their eye...
It is impossible to miss the waves of hype that are going to hit the NFT eco-system TON.
And the marketing tributes will reach in abundance the first NFT marketplaces on blockchain.
The TON Foundation loves to hype, launching huge advertising campaigns all over the world, enjoy the benefits of Telegram. And they're going to get everyone talking about NFT on TON.
So the space will be heated and heated some more, tremendously, it's something we legitimately expect.
The first mint collections, the biggest ones, by the laws of the genre, will be the most profitable, and the fastest-selling. And ours is just one of them.
Tens of thousands of people, at least, if not hundreds of thousands, are going to watch the animals with gusto.
Yet here, too, you'll still have the advantage of being the first to go.
The key is to have the skill of waiting, and to keep a positive attitude! 🐾
So, well, our Vancouver marmot fled, into a thicket of junipers, instead of that pig, and right before the mint.
Thus ending our creative marathon which we called "Creating the TON NFT Animals Red List Collection."
Our gorgeous illustrators can finally get back to their cottage-family-shish kebabs, recalling the meaning of the sweet words "weekend" and "wholesome sleep."
And what about us? 🐾
Well we keep moving forward, at the same cosmic speed, maneuvering skillfully and boldly.
The place of illustrators has been taken by equally creative artists-developers.
Their art is our priceless smart contracts.
A process no less exciting and fascinating than drawing.
We've all probably seen the stars of young projects light up and quickly go out, getting bogged down in the abyss of technical complexity.
🦉 But don't you forget that we have only top developers in our team, led by Vlad Arbatov?
Great Week of Great Announcements, not tied to any calendars, continues! 🎉
Do you know, friends, what a momentous event is happening right now as you read this post? Something not tied to any calendars.
Our illustration artists are working on the last of 13,333 artworks right this very minute, which will be turned into full TON NFT ARLs in the near future!
The collection is finished, and all the NFTs will be ready today.🔥
Yeah, that moment has finally arrived, and to somehow celebrate this slightly sad, but so long-awaited moment, we decided to play with your imagination and fantasy.
Already today at 15:00 UTC our private club Animals Red List NFT — Private Community will give you a chance to win a prize by simply giving the right answer.
We'll announce the correct answer later, and, of course, give you the opportunity to admire this beauty.🙈
When will be the worms?
Well, friends, the mint is getting closer, the debate is getting hotter, and the stakes are getting higher. 💰
Worms, toads, cockroaches - who will be the sales favorite, despite their seeming unsympathetic nature?
Their unsympathetic nature is exactly apparent, if only for the reason (and here we will repeat the commonplace truth again) that every living creature is beautiful and essential for our planet. Besides, many of us have a proverbial sense of protest, screaming that pandas and dolphins are cool, but spiders (for example) are not as "replicated" and therefore look as anarchistic as we do.
What surprised the team a bit was a request from one of the esteemed whales to show him all the "creeping and flying creepers,” if possible, with the possibility of buying a couple or two of these beauties. He's especially interested in those very worms...
(By the way, you do remember that almost all of our NFTs are drawn, right? And when it's the last one's turn... well you’ll find out soon enough! 😉)
Every team member, like any of you, has their favorites among the NFTs. And who knows, maybe we'll show you our cards🙊
🌊 THE SEA IS FULL OF LARGE FISH! 🐠
Dear friends and holders of the collection! 🐾
We are thrilled to welcome back the awakened community of fish from the ARL collection 🐟
As a reminder, our collection is so diverse that enthusiasts are creating independent themed communities around it. So here are a few successful examples:
📌 Primate Holder Community;
📌 Frog Holder Community;
📌 And, now, the fish holder community has finally stepped up, as well!
BTW, the guys have started a contest to win NFT partner collections, as well as some TON.
We are supporting such endeavors of independent communities, and are doubling the prize pool! ✌🏻

🦚 FOR BIRD HOLDERS - GREAT NEWS 🕊
Dear animal lovers and friends of the ARL project!
We thank you for your patience, and stoic approach to the delay, before the announcement of the bonus. Things weren't just for fun though, we picked up the kind of bonus you deserve - a worthy utility for bird holders. We reckon your patience should be rewarded! 🐣
Pleased to announce that Bird Holders will get a special bonus in the Red Company Staking🎁
📌 Friends, keep in mind that we have a fixed staking at 10.5% APR (in TON) right now 💎
📌 Also, a reminder to you about the additional ARL yield
Pretty soon, we'll be updating our staking. These changes will include gamification of the staking process, and new features for holders 🎊
The project is resuming its normal mode of operation. Take care of nature - and see you soon! 🌿
🎉 AMNESTY FOR ARL! 🏳️
Our dear holders, and animal lovers! We bring an important announcement to you.
Our ARL team believes that freedom of speech is needed in these turbulent times - the very openness, and honesty, with which we began our ARL project, is now desperately needed.
We were never afraid of feedback from our audience - on the contrary, we feel ready to communicate with you, with each of you. And so, together, with some of our partners, we have made a responsible, but necessary, decision: absolutely all the blocked, blacklisted members of the big Red Company family, will be released from the burden of the ban. We will unblock everyone in no time ✊🏻
We recognize that our moderators are not perfect, and the human factor may have affected here as well. In some ways there were kinks, and somewhere - the error of numbers: we have a huge community, and individual cases of bans are sometimes lost in the global preventive measures. Simply put, it is hard to tell at a glance who was really guilty, and who was not 😔
ARL admits its mistakes, and is ready to provide you with an island of stability in this unstable sea of modern realities. Also to demonstrate to its holders that the project is not abandoned, that we are here. That means the work goes on, our business goes on.
Love you all! Stay with us, friends, we promise - we won't let you down: we haven't let you down before, have we? 😉
P.S.: Bird Holders, no worries - good news coming soon 🍪
🪶 ABOUT MASS BIRD EXTINCTIONS 🦩
Dear holders and animal lovers!
Bird Week at ARL is ongoing, which means there are still plenty of exciting topics to uncover!
Today, we're covering several mass bird extinctions, and their related causes.
ABOUT THE LITTLE GREBE
Our first story is about the Delacour's little grebe, a bird with extremely small wings, whose habitat was just as comparatively small.
🩸 This bird was found only on Lake Alautra, of the island of Madagascar;
🩸 Astonishingly, this species was finally recognized as extinct, not thousands or hundreds of years ago, but in 2010;
🩸 Last time the voice of this bird was heard was in 1988.
Scientists agree that the little grebe went extinct due to invasive species - humans introduced many new animals to the Alautra, causing the population of lake fish, the main food of the little grebes, to be severely reduced. Poaching has also had an impact: fishing nets have been set up all over the lake, entangling and killing the birds.
THE STORY OF THE STRAY PIGEON
The stray pigeon is a tragic page in the history of the interaction between man and nature.
🩸 This species of pigeon lived mostly in North America;
🩸 In the 16th and 18th centuries, this species was the most abundant bird (various estimates range from 3 to 5 billion individuals);
🩸 Stray pigeons were still hunted by Native Americans, but the situation worsened in the 19th century, as Europeans settled on the continent.
The stray pigeons were shot in huge numbers, and the forests, their natural habitat, were cut down. The story of this amazing bird is a bitter example of how humans can wipe out a species, with a population of billions, in less than a century. We only have to learn from our mistakes, and never let such a nightmare happen again 🕊
Take care of the nature, friends! See you soon, and wait for our further posts - something really exciting awaits you 💣

ANNOUNCING SEA CUCUMBERS WEEK AT ARL! 🌊
Greetings to all holders, and animal lovers!
We're continuing our tradition, and announcing another themed week!
This week will be dedicated to the adorable sea cucumbers, otherwise known as holothurians, or trepangs, and their holders.
🐛 These unusual creatures resemble caterpillars in appearance. They live in flocks at the bottom of the ocean, and serve as its decontaminator - they feed on the remains of sea creatures and algae. The only enemy of sea cucumbers is man. Because of their delicious and healthy meat, many varieties are on the verge of extinction...

BIG CAT'S WEEK: SNOW LEOPARD
Let's move on to the big cat's week! Today, we are covering the snow leopard, a proud and unique representative of our collection. Considering the beauty of the ounce, and its status as a protected animal, we agree that it is worthy of a detailed story.
🖼 SNOW LEOPARD IN ARL 🦍
Name: ARL Panthera Uncia
Tier: 3
SubTier: Mythical
Class: Mammals
💧 WHY IS IT GOING EXTINCT? 🩸
The ounce is a member of the carnivorous mammals. It belongs to the feline family, isolated in the genus and species of ounce. The main cause of extinction is the illegal hunting of snow leopards. Poachers hunt ounces mainly for their fur, but the bones of the animal, used in Oriental medicine, are also valuable. Interestingly, China has the highest population of snow leopards in the world.
LIFESTYLE AND FACTS
• Surprisingly, snow leopards (yep, that's another name for ounces!) have a very long tail: it is three-quarters the length of the animal's body and seems very massive, but in fact it's just fluffy;
• Despite their name, these animals are not fond of walking in deep, loose, snow and try to avoid it by choosing beaten trails.
• The snow leopard can handle prey that is three times its own size. As an excellent jumper (a leap of 6-7 meters), it catches up with its prey unexpectedly. Amazingly, the ounce never attacks a human first, which also contributes to illegal hunting.

BIG CAT'S WEEK: MALAYAN TIGER 🐅
Good evening to all holders, as well as animal lovers! 🐾
The cat we are about to discuss today is a proud and strong predator, one of the most dangerous members of the feline family... Or no? Our guest is the smallest subspecies of the tiger, and lives in the south of the Malacca Peninsula. Meet the Malayan tiger.
🖼 MALAYAN TIGER IN ARL 🐯
Name: ARL Panthera Tigris SSP Jacksoni
Tier: 1
SubTier: Mythical
Class: Mammals
💧 WHY ARE THEY ENDING UP EXTINCT? 🩸
The International Union for Conservation of Nature has placed the Malayan tiger in the category of "critically endangered" species. According to their data, there are now less than 250 mature individuals of the Malay tiger. One reason is the loss of its traditional habitat. The Malayan tiger can be found only in the southern part of the Malay Peninsula, where there is not enough forest habitat to support more than 50 mature tigers.
The second reason of the tiger population decrease is, of course, poaching. Teeth, claws, skin and meat of tigers are in high demand on the black market. Between 2000 and 2013, body parts of at least 94 tigers were confiscated. Unfortunately, in the twenty-first century many people are still convinced that tiger bones have medicinal properties.
LIFESTYLE AND FACTS
- The body length of an adult male tiger is about 230 cm. Females, as usual, are slightly smaller. The weight of the animal can reach 120 kilograms;
- After the tiger gains the primacy among males, he tries to win over the females. This is not an easy task, as she will start to slap him, growl, and drive him away in various ways! The male, on the other hand, has to endure and wait for his beloved's good mood;
- In spite of its low population, the Malay tiger is considered a strong and clever predator. Thus, the coat of arms of Malaysia depicts this animal exactly, which has become a real symbol of the state!

WARNING! Scammers are hard at work!
Friends, our NFT ARL project has reached such popularity and fame that some way too enterprising, and absolutely dishonest, comrades decided to take advantage of it.
You may receive messages "from us" with the offer to acquire our NFTs via some bot, at the alleged presale price.
We don’t write such offers in PM. Never! All of our actions you can see on our channel TON NFT ARL. And only in the channel will we tell you about our promotions, pre-sales and other activities.
Do not give in to scammers, cease transferring any money to them. Block them, and complain about spam. That's the only way we can outsmart and destroy them!
Friends, our charity fundraising is up and running!
We’re moving forward as planned, and today we're proud to tell you that both of our flagship Animals Red List, and Mammals | Animals Red List channels launched a donation bot a few days ago.
And we have already started collecting donations.
Great work is ahead to develop the culture of charity on the channels in TG and increase the trust of the channels' audience to the project and its activities.
While this is a separate responsible area of work, the first stage has been set.
As you remember, 25% of these funds will be transferred to the animal protection fund, existing directly at the ARL International Red List, and a portion of them will be distributed among our NFT holders.
Also, we would like to proudly report on the number of participants in the creative phase of our project. By the time we finished rendering the collection, they were already working on it:
🐾 276 illustrators, whose skills you've seen, and more than once,
🐾 15 leaders of "Amphibians", "Birds", "Large Mammals", "Insects", etc.
🐾 and our beloved art director, for sure!
Friends, today in our private club Animals Red List NFT — Private Community, a really exciting speed contest took place: the club members had to guess from the silhouette what kind of animal is depicted on our last drawn NFT ARL. We are not going to tell you about all the twists and turns, but the contest is over and we have the winners!
1st place and the NFT ARL, Tier3 prize, go to our reader, nicknamed 伊豆の踊子.
2nd place and 50 TON was won by Vadim Volodin
3rd place and 25 TON go to Stepan is typing.
Congratulations again on behalf of our team! 👏👏👏👏
NFT Marmota vancouverensis (Vancouver Island Marmot).
Tier 1 (Found only on Vancouver Island in Canada, found in the mountains at about 1500m, only about 100 left in the wild).
🐾 Friends, we wish to help you get a better grasp of the gradations within Tier.
Each Tier is divided into legendary, epic, mythic, rare and common sublevels. We didn't have to puzzle over which NFTs to assign to which group, because virtually the same gradations already exist for Red Book animals.
You can correlate our illustrations with the official IUCN Guidelines.
On the marketplace, you can see which category a particular NFT belongs to. Perhaps this gradation will be the last straw that influences your purchasing decisions🙊
And here is the first announcement from Red Company where we have invested 50,000 toncoins.
Let us introduce you to the TON Earth project.
We invested $100,000 in this project (estimated value of TON Earth project = $1.000.000), and now Red Company owns 10% of TON Earth.
That’s a wonderful partnership and a promising future with a great project.
(Of course, one can't tell about all joint venture plans in one post, so we'll keep the intrigue, as always😅).
Just imagine, friends, we are the first to enter the virtual TON universe on The Open Network blockchain. It's like rediscovering America!
We have endless uncharted lands, seas, rivers, and forests — in one word, sheer paradise 😉
On part of this big paradise you can buy property, build a house, start a farm and do a lot of interesting things that remain a mystery...
You can also communicate with other landowners, as well as travel. In other words, live and enjoy life.
TON Earth is the first virtual world inspired by the metaverse using The Open Network blockchain.
It’s a great idea and concept, with strong specialists in a multinational team, offering great opportunities for mutual integration of different projects, NFT and not only.
TON Earth has already held presales, now there is a secondary market. No plots are available for sale.
Plots of land in the project has already shown a significant increase in value after resales (nibbled elbows — a lot).
