Leonardo DiCaprio and the Bezoses combine funds for endangered species

And hey, this is all good to hear. It is a good thing that some of the richest individuals in the world would use their immense wealth on conservation efforts. They’re certainly needed, especially as hugely polluting data centers pop up all over the country. Of course, Amazon, the company that Bezos founded and of which he still continues to serve as executive chairman, is behind some of those centers. Earlier this year, an Amazon data center popped up in rural North Carolina, which residents say was a surprise to them, according to Inside Climate News. Residents in Virginia are also pushing back against Amazon plans for a data center, and voters in Maryland also recently successfully got Amazon to abandon plans for a data center in their state, which is also a commendable conservation effort.
