Two Billion for 100 Endangered Species | Irvine News
Description
Leonardo DiCaprio’s Re:wild and Jeff Bezos’s Earth Fund are teaming up for the Phoenix Species Project, pouring $200 million into saving 100 of Earth’s most endangered animals — from lemurs and pangolins to rare pigs — in what could be the largest-ever conservation fund focused on species recovery. Launched after key talks with Indigenous groups and governments in 2021, the initiative aims to scale up proven but underfunded conservation efforts, giving critically endangered creatures like Madagascar’s golden-crowned sifaka and the Visayan warty pig a fighting chance through long-term, impactful support.
