DiCaprio and Bezos Fund Species Rescue | Dover News
Description
Leonardo DiCaprio and Jeff Bezos are teaming up for a planet-saving coup: their foundations are pouring $200 million into the Phoenix Species Project to rescue 100 critically endangered animals—from lemurs and pangolins to rare pigs and salamanders. Born from a 2021 meeting between Re:wild and the Bezos Earth Fund, this global initiative targets underfunded conservation heroes, giving them the resources and expertise needed to turn survival odds around. It’s not just cash—it’s a coordinated, long-term mission to bring species back from the brink, proving that big money can be wielded with purpose to save biodiversity.
