Maddox Jolie-Pitt
Foundation In 2003, Angelina Jolie created the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation (MJP) for the conservation of Cambodia's endangered Cardamom Mountains' northern territory. Formally known as the Maddox Jolie Project and based in Cambodia's rural and impoverished northwest, the initial focus of its conservation work was on the protection of Samlout National Park (Samlout Protected Area), Samlout contains most of the region's biodiversity: forests, freshwater ecosystems, and endangered species. As more resources became available, MJP's operations expanded into other areas such as reforestation, community protected area, park management and integrated rural development (UN Millennium Development Goals). In 2007, the organization changed its name to Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation, retaining the MJP initials, to better reflect the scope of its field projects. Official site : MJP |
