Philanthropists buy the Rothbury estate in England for 30 million pounds
The charitable organization Wildlife Trusts has completed the purchase of the Rothbury estate in Northumberland for 30 million pounds sterling, raising funds through crowdfunding and grants. It is the largest land deal in England in 30 years, aimed at creating a biodiversity corridor and protecting rare species. Despite support from authorities and celebrities, the project has faced criticism from local farmers and politicians who believe the funding priorities are misguided.
