Billionaire iron ore heirs give $120m to environmental groups

The descendants of Lang Hancock’s business partner, Peter Wright, will donate more than $120 million to a string of conservation groups after selling their family’s share in a multibillion-dollar West Australian mining project.

Part of that money will flow to Greenpeace, the organisation that has actively campaigned against Hancock’s heir, Gina Rinehart, and once described her opposition to environmental rules as “poisonous”.
