While the entrepreneur emphasized the need to ensure a better future for future generations, the actor and philanthropist highlighted biodiversity: \u201cFor decades, scientists, indigenous peoples, local communities, and conservation leaders have been on the front lines of protecting nature, and what has been made clear through research, is that species on the brink of extinction are often the ones that anchor some of the world\u2019s most important ecosystems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">DiCaprio then continued, looking ahead to the initiative\u2019s potential developments: \u201cThe Phoenix Species Project has the potential to drastically shift how we approach conservation and combat the climate crisis at a global scale. [&#8230;] The goal is for the Phoenix Species Project to become a global movement that inspires others to invest in nature and help protect our planet.\u201d Once launched, the program will track actual population growth and the reduction of threats, publishing progress updates on its website and official social media channels so that everyone can closely follow its developments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><strong>Originally published in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.it\/article\/leonardo-dicaprio-lauren-sanchez-bezos-phoenix-project-conservazione-fauna\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\"><em>Vanity Fair<\/em> Italia<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Phoenix Species Project will collaborate with indigenous peoples, local communities, scientists, governments, and over 100 partner organizations to implement customized recovery plans for each species.
