In a bold move to protect one of Earth’s most critical ecosystems, Swedish billionaire Johan Eliasch purchased 400,000 acres of Brazil’s Amazon rainforest. His mission: to stop deforestation and safeguard the region’s rich biodiversity.
Eliasch bought the land in 2005 from plywood exporter Gethal Amazonias and immediately shut down all logging activities. By doing so, he created a safe haven for endangered species, native plants, and local wildlife. His actions support global efforts to preserve indigenous habitats, combat climate change, and protect the planet’s natural heritage.
