The initiative, supported by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jeff Bezos, announced the launch of the Phoenix Species Project with $200 million to protect 100 endangered species on Earth. The funds will be used for the protection of endangered species such as the salamander, pangolin, and other animals.
The Phoenix Species Project is being carried out by Re:wild, the DiCaprio to Bezos Earth Fund. Under the project, the organization plans to provide the largest possible funding for the conservation of endangered species.
According to the material, the project aims to provide support for the protection of endangered species, but also for the grant of new international organizations. The project will be implemented through the Association Fanamby, which will receive a grant for the protection of endangered species.
In 2021, DiCaprio’s Re:wild and Jeff Bezos’ Earth Fund launched a project to protect endangered species. The initiative is aimed at supporting the conservation of endangered species and preserving their habitats.
In total, as the project’s results show, the funding will be used to support the conservation of endangered species. The material also notes that the project will be implemented through the Association Fanamby, which will receive a grant for the protection of endangered species.
The project will include the following species: the “golden” species of Madagascar; Hickory Nut Gorge green salamander, which lives only in a small area in Piney Woods; Visayan warty pig, endemic to the Philippines; Mexico’s Cozumel harvest mouse, found only on the island of Cozumel; the brown earth iguana from Wolf Volcano in the Galápagos; the Malayan pangolin, also known as the Sunda pangolin, found in the islands of the Sunda Shelf; the “pancake tortoise” (pancake tortoise), named after its flat shell; starry night harlequin toad, found only in the mountains of Colombia; Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna, found in New Guinea.
The material also states that the project will include support for the protection of endangered species, but also for the grant of new international organizations. Tiana Andriamanana, vice president of Association Fanamby, said the grant will help restore the “golden” effect and protect the species’ habitats.
