The Oscar-winning actor and Amazon founder have launched the Phoenix Species Project, committing $200 million to help 100 of the world's critically endangered species recover across 30 countries. Half of that commitment comes from the Bezos Earth Fund, while the other $100 million (£74 million) comes from DiCaprio and Dr. Wes Sechrest's organisation Re:wild with support from the Titanic star, Age of Union and the Todd Graves Family Foundation.
