DiCaprio and Bezos Save 100 Species | Science News

Leonardo DiCaprio and Jeff Bezos are launching the Phoenix Species Project, a $200 million global conservation effort to save 100 critically endangered species from extinction. Backed by Bezos’ Earth Fund and DiCaprio’s nonprofit Re:wild, the initiative partners with local communities and governments across 30 countries to fund breeding programs, habitat relocation, and invasive species control. From birds and sharks to rare plants like the fuzzy belly button, these species face dire odds — some already extinct in the wild — as global biodiversity plummets. With over 4,000 animals now classified as critically endangered, this bold, collaborative push aims to turn the tide before it’s too late.
