以前我以为西方保护自然是靠政府和环保主义者; 看了历史发现，也要感谢热爱自然不自私的有钱人

比如说我们上个月hiking去的那个Phleger Estate, 地产主人本人就是热爱红木森林的，不想让它被商业破坏，只要了很低的价格出售；拯救红木森林的基金会共同努力凑了大部分的钱，而且游说富豪买了其中的宅子，终于实现保护红木森林并对公众开放！

美国国家公园网站上的介绍:

Phleger Estate

Enjoy a verdant redwood forest reborn here at the southern tip of the Golden Gate National Parks. This tranquil park was once severely logged and century-old redwood stumps and remnants of steam mills are still in evidence. But along its miles of trails and tumbling creeks, second-growth redwoods and firs are rising again.

History of Phleger Estate
In 1990, Mary Elena Phleger, widowed in 1984 and determined to keep her family's estate intact, offered Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) the opportunity to make it so. With only 5 paid staff and an exceptionally tight deadline, POST embarked on an ambitious fundraising, lobbying and public awareness campaign. POST staff and volunteers worked feverishly, drawing hundreds of letters of support from local and state officials. This outpouring of community support convinced Congress to provide matching funds-if POST could raise half the cost of the property. POST did just that, raising $5 million from Save the Redwoods League and from extraordinarily generous private donors. Then, literally agreeing to "buy or bust," POST staked their entire $3.5 million reserve and proceeds from the sale of the Phleger home to meet their final deadline, and the Phleger Estate turned from private property to public park early in 1995.
