Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has made a generous donation of 10 million Thai baht, approximately $292,230, to the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand. The funds will be utilized to construct a new enclosure for Moo Den, a five-month-old pygmy hippo, and to support the zoo's wildlife adoption initiative. Buterin, who visited the zoo in November, will also adopt Moo Den and his family for a period of two years. The donation will be disbursed in two installments, with the first installment already arranged.
