Jeff Bezos' Earth Fund Grants $25M to Protect Pacific Ocean
Jeff Bezos' Earth Fund has granted over $25 million to protect more than 625,000 square miles of ocean in the Pacific, an area larger than Alaska. The grants aim to sustainably manage the region's waters and protect at least 30% of it by 2030. This is the second round of a $100 million Pacific pledge, with the first round totaling $37.5 million. The grants will help create marine protected areas, support conservation efforts, and draft protection proposals for the high seas under the UN's High Seas Treaty. Despite spending $2.4 billion so far, the fund still has about $7 billion left to spend in four years to meet its $10 billion commitment by 2030.2 sourcesSee all sources
