The Jack Ma Foundation on Monday donated 100 million yuan ($14 million) for ecological research and protection of the Xixi National Wetland Park in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province, according to Alibaba Group. "Together with the world's top ecologists, we will build the Xixi Wetland into New York's Central Park," Ma, the retired business magnate and co-founder of e-commerce giant Alibaba, said at the donation ceremony. The wetland park is in Hangzhou's northwestern suburbs and occupies about 10 square kilometers, with rare and endangered aquatic animals and plants. In 2009, it was listed as a Wetland of International Importance under an international conservation treaty. "We hope to participate in the environmental protection and water resources conservation of Hangzhou," Ma said.
