Amazon founder Jeff Bezos pledged on Monday to give away $1 billion in grants this year to focus on efforts around conservation and support landscape restoration and food system transformation.

The pledge is a part of his previously announced the Bezos Earth Fund, which the Amazon founder started last year to execute his $10 billion commitment to fund scientists, activists and non-profit organizations in the fight against climate change.

The Bezos Earth Fund said on Monday the fund will focus on Central Africa's Congo Basin, the tropical Andes region and the tropical Pacific Ocean this year.

What in the hell is biodiversity ?

Growing both plants and raising cattle?
