DiCaprio and Bezos Launch $200 Million Project to Protect 100 Endangered Species
Leonardo DiCaprio's Re:wild and Jeff Bezos's Earth Fund have launched the Phoenix Species Project, a $200 million initiative aimed at conserving 100 critically endangered species worldwide. The project, described as the largest fund dedicated exclusively to species recovery, emerged from discussions in 2021 involving DiCaprio, biologist Wes Sechrest, Bezos, and Lauren Sánchez Bezos. It focuses on species threatened by habitat loss and climate change, engaging governments, Indigenous communities, and conservation groups to reverse declines in vulnerable wildlife populations.
