Australian news outlets have gone wild about the story of an American man who left $8 million to the "non profit organisation specialising in large scale rescue and rehabilitation of the Southern Hairy Nosed Wombat." The donation will come in $1-million-per-year increments, starting next year. His family has asked, perhaps not too surprisingly, for anonymity.

The surest way to guarantee that a species will never become extinct is to make it a commercial venture. Farm them, kill them, can them, sell them. Guaranteed we will have wombats forever. No need for endowments.

Sounds like somebody’s Grampa was less than impressed by his heirs, and found a great way to make sure none of the greedy little $hits ever get their hands on a nickle...
