Mark Zuckerberg și Priscilla Chan au donat 4.000.000 de dolari pentru a salva un iaz vechi de 600 de ani

Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan donated $4 million to permanently protect the 600-year-old Alakoko pond in Hawaii from real estate development. The pond, significant for Hawaiian culture, is the largest traditional fish pond on Kauaʻi. The donation was made through the Chan Zuckerberg Community Fund and facilitated the purchase of the land for conservation. The pond will be managed by the local nonprofit Mālama Hulē‘ia, ensuring it remains a site for education and community activities. Plans include restoring the pond to a functional fishery and using it as an outdoor classroom for students to learn about traditional aquaculture and local ecosystems.
