A new fund is working to save 100 of the world's most threatened species. The Phoenix Species Project will put $200m (£149m) towards restoring animals in the wild and stopping them from going extinct.
It's one of the largest funds ever focused on species recovery. The project is a collaboration between the Bezos Earth Fund and Re:wild - a non profit co-founded by actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
It comes at a time when conservationists have warned about a decline in global biodiversity, and just a few weeks after the Trump administration rolled back endangered species protections.
