Swedish billionaire Johan Eliasch made headlines by purchasing 400,000 acres of Amazon rainforest in Brazil—solely to preserve it. Rather than exploit it for timber or agriculture, he shut down logging operations and devoted the land to conservation.
His efforts didn’t stop there: Eliasch co-founded Cool Earth, a charity protecting rainforests by working with indigenous communities, and helped launch the Rainforest Trust, which has since safeguarded over 37 million acres globally. His bold move is a powerful example of environmental stewardship through action, not just words.
