This is exactly what your national and state parks systems do, along with all manner of other protected wilderness.
The wonderful thing about the system that's already in place is that you can contribute to it without being wealthy, just by visiting any of them for a day and paying the entrance fee. As an additional perk, you get to visit all of that protected wilderness, while other people have maintained it for you, and you get to increase the total visitation numbers which in turns helps to keep this and other protected wilderness secure for the future.
Go out and enjoy your local public lands.
- cardamomo 7y ago+1 for parks and protected wilderness! If we want public lands to play a large part in turning around our worldwide ecological crisis, I think we need to devote more resources, money, and land to the issue. I am intrigued by endeavors, like the Half-Earth Project (https://www.half-earthproject.org/ https://www.half-earthproject.org/), that seek to restore ecologies on a very large scale.

I recall a certain 4th of July parade - with tanks, that was funded using visitation monies. https://www.outsideonline.com/2399402/trump-fourth-of-july-party-2.5-million-national-parks https://www.outsideonline.com/2399402/trump-fourth-of-july-p...
