WASHINGTON -- A foundation set up by Intel Corp.'s co-founder Gordon Moore and his wife Betty has donated $261 million to Conservation International, a Washington-based environmental organization.
The gift will be spread out over a 10-year period and will be used for a program to stop species extinction in biodiversity hotspots and to protect large areas of major tropical wilderness, Conservation International spokesman Brad Phillips said.
It's the largest donation ever to a private conservation group.
