Phoenix Species Project

• On August 4, 2026, Re:wild and the Bezos Earth Fund jointly launched the ‘Phoenix Species Project’.

• Under this initiative, a commitment has been made to provide $200 million in support for the conservation and recovery of 100 species—found across 30 countries—that are either critically endangered or extinct in the wild.

• These include mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds, fish, invertebrates, and plants.

• The Bezos Earth Fund and Re:wild have each pledged $100 million for this project.

• Additionally, Leonardo DiCaprio, Age of Union, and the Todd Graves Family Foundation have also provided financial support.

• It is noteworthy that Leonardo DiCaprio is a co-founder of Re:wild, while Jeff Bezos chairs the Bezos Earth Fund.
