Well, at least he's putting his money where his mouth it. The crown prince of Abu Dhabi along with a group of other international donors pledged to donate $80 million on Sunday to conservation efforts to save wild cats, such as lions and tigers. New York-based, Panthera, will be the lucky organization on the receiving end of this hefty donation. The other moneyed supporters include: Sheik Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who is next in line to rule Abu Dhabi; Jho Low, CEO of Hong Kong-based investment firm Jynwel Capital; and Hemendra Kothari, who chairs DSP Blackrock India.
