Aiming to protect wildlife where it is most abundant and threatened, the World Bank and two conservation groups meeting at Caltech unveiled a $150-million fund Tuesday to help preserve the planet's biodiversity hot spots. Grants from the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund will be made available to local groups in developing countries. Though it is not the largest conservation fund, organizers hope it will be the most agile and least bureaucratic.
