In a bid to save world’s most threatened species, nine private funders are bringing along a windfall of $500 million for the New Species Recovery Alliance, launched at the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP17). The Bezos Earth Fund and eight others will work together over the next five years to prevent extinctions and recover the world’s most threatened species. The Amazon founder along with Leonardo DiCaprio’s Re:wild, the Colossal Foundation, the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund, Fondation Segré, the Franklinia Foundation, the Rainforest Trust, and WildLives Earth have pledged more than $500 million over five years to help prevent extinctions and recover threatened wildlife.
