Actress to set up wildlife refuge

Actress Angelina Jolie has agreed to pay $5 million over the next 15 years to set up a wildlife sanctuary in a former Khmer Rouge-controlled area of Cambodia, a senior charity official in Phnom Penh said Friday.

Jolie, who fell in love with the war-scarred Southeast Asian nation while filming the action movie “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,” has already paid a first installment of $350,000 to get the ball rolling, said Mounh Sarath, head of Cambodian Vision in Development.
