According to Variety, the two non-profit organisations, DiCaprio’s Re:Wild conservation and Bezos's Nature Solutions, have donated $200 million into the Protect Our Planet (POP) Challenge.

The outlet reported that this donation will “support the expansion and management of Brazil's protected areas and Indigenous territories”.
