Bezos Earth Fund to Back Gabon’s $200 Million Fund for Nature

Gabon is mobilizing $200 million from the likes of Bezos Earth Fund to help protect at least 30% of its terrestrial, fresh-water and marine ecosystems by 2030.

Gabon is part of the Congo Basin that’s the biggest global green lung after the Amazon. The vast rain forest houses wildlife and fauna, including 60% of the remaining critically endangered forest elephants, according to the United Nations Development Programme.
