ScienceNew $200m fund aims to save 100 of the world’s most threatened species

The Phoenix Species Project is launching a $200m fund to help restore 100 of the world’s most threatened species in the wild and prevent their extinction. The initiative is described as one of the largest funds devoted to species recovery. It is a partnership between the Bezos Earth Fund and Re:wild, a non-profit co-founded by actor Leonardo DiCaprio. The project comes amid warnings from conservationists about declining global biodiversity.
