@krishnanrohit Fund to buy and manage land with particular ecological benefit / vulnerability- wildlife corridors, wetlands, unusual microclimates with rare species, etc. Emphasis on small patchy bits of land and weird edge cases that don't get attention from big charities or govt.
@krishnanrohit The goal would be to bridge the gap between speed of developers vs time for community fundraising- would add conservation easements and resell the saved land to local community groups to manage, so the $500M could stretch further over time.
