This is stupid. He should have bought the area and protected it himself. This donation will be used to finance wars and hire government employees that will stand in their desks the whole day waiting for someone to bribe them, not a single penny will be used to protect land or animals. Never give your money to the government, it doesn't matter what are you thinking, it is never a good idea.

- jstelly 10y agoThe article links to a more accurate piece. He did buy the property for $15M. He then created an easement preventing development and donated that easement to US Fish & wildlife. He has also bought other property for the same purpose. He created this easement partially because a developer sued to use eminent domain to force him to allow them to construct a power line across the property. http://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2016/11/08/box-creek-wilderness-permanently-protected/93443704/ http://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2016/11/08/box...
