DiCaprio and Bezos Fund 100 Endangered Species | Oakland News
Description
Leonardo DiCaprio and Jeff Bezos are teaming up to launch the Phoenix Species Project, a $200 million global initiative to save 100 of Earth’s most endangered animals. Backed by Re:wild and the Bezos Earth Fund, this unprecedented funding aims to reverse extinction threats for species like the Visayan warty pig and Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna. After high-level talks in 2021 with conservationists and Indigenous leaders, the project targets biodiversity loss head-on — offering critical resources to groups often strapped for cash. With nearly 50,000 species on the IUCN Red List at risk, this bold move signals a powerful commitment to planetary survival.
