DiCapprio and Bezos tag team to protect the Amazon forest

Leo DiCapprio and Jeff Bezos have turned over their sofa cushions to find loose change they plan to give to support the Protecting Our Planet (POP) Challenge. The POP Challenge is one of the largest privately funded organizations that is focused on biodiversity conservation. 

The duo's non profit organizations - Leo's "Wild Conservation" (and no, it's not the theme of his latest yacht party) and Bezo's "Nature Solutions" (which sounds like a line of cleaning products) are tag teaming to pony up $200 million into the POP Challenge.

According to Variety, "The POP Challenge will support the expansion and management of Brazil's protected areas and Indigenous territories".

I think its swell that these two titans of their respective industries are coming together to support efforts to protect the Amazon Forest. Jeff Bezo's reported net worth is $148 billion and Leo's $300 million. With that kind of money, they can easily buy the Amazon forest and rename it "Cashistan".

By 2008, she had illicitly obtained a staggering $5.8 million, a substantial portion of Dixon's modest annual budget, which ranged between $8-9 million. Over 22 years, Crundwell embezzled upwards of $53 million and lavishly funded her lifestyle. She established and operated RC Quarter Horses, a renowned horse breeding enterprise, with her horses achieving an impressive 52 world championships. Additionally, she acquired a 45-foot motorhome and indulged in extended vacations. Crundwell deceitfully attributed the city's financial shortfall to the state's delayed tax payments, resulting in severe cutbacks in essential services across Dixon.
