  "account": "In an effort to preserve the 600-year-old Alakoko Fishpond in Hawaii, Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan made a $4 million donation through the Chan Zuckerberg Initiatives. The Alakoko Fishpond, located on Kauaʻi, was at risk of development until it became a community conservation site. The Trust for Public Land and Mālama Hulē‘ia bought the 102-acre property and worked together to seek funding for its acquisition. When the landowner decided to sell, the Chan Zuckerberg Kauaʻi Community Fund chipped in with the $4 million donation. While Zuckerberg and Chan do not own the fishpond, the donation ensured that it would be used for conservation, education, and community purposes. The Alakoko Fishpond, a part of Native Hawaiian history and traditional aquaculture, is now being restored as a working fishpond and outdoor classroom.",
