- Leonardo DiCaprio's Re:wild and the Bezos Earth Fund have launched the Phoenix Species Project, a $200 million initiative.
- This project aims to revive 100 of Earth's most threatened species, including endangered lemurs, salamanders, pangolins, pigs, and Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna.
- It is described as the largest single fund in history dedicated exclusively to recovering critically endangered species.
- The initiative developed from DiCaprio's long-held idea to protect species threatened by climate change, following a 2021 meeting with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos.
- The project seeks to provide long-term support and a global platform for existing conservation efforts, transforming what is possible for vulnerable species.
