The alliance brings together nine organisations, including Re:wild, Rainforest Trust, Colossal Foundation, Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund, Fondation Segré, Franklinia Foundation, Ayers Wild Cat Conservation Trust and WildLives Earth, each retaining control over their grants while synchronising efforts.
Earlier this year, Bezos Earth Fund and Re:wild launched the Phoenix Species Project, committing $200 million to rescue 100 critically endangered species across 30 countries, such as Madagascar’s golden‑crowned sifaka and Australia’s night parrot.
Cristián Samper, managing director of the Bezos Earth Fund, warned that unpredictable funding jeopardises long‑term recovery, insisting that stable financial streams are essential for projects that have already achieved significant milestones.
UN biodiversity chief Astrid Schomaker highlighted the shortfall, noting that global pledges fall well short of the $200 billion annual target for 2030, with less than half of national goals on track. In Madagascar, local conservationists are already working to restore forest patches that will become safe havens for the golden‑crowned sifaka.
The alliance will monitor results through the IUCN Red List and its Green Status of Species, aiming to publish annual progress reports and adjust interventions as species rebound.
