RSSThe GoldenPalace.com Monkey
In 2004, Robert Wallace discovered a new species of monkey in Madidi National Park. Rather than naming it after himself, he auctioned off the naming rights to raise money for FUNDESNAP, the organisation maintaining the park. A noble gesture indeed. The winning bid was US$ 650,000.
The monkey is now called the GoldenPalace.com Monkey.
Good job, world.
