I dunno Doug, you sure could buy a lot of Amazon Rainforest for that billion.

(Of course, that's with now knowing where you were.   If you were say - at
Yosemite - then there are a number of cultural and societal factors that
might make that 10sq mi parcel worth much, much, more than $1bil.   From a
purely environmental perspective, however, I'm not sure how you could
resist a $1bil - sized chunk of Brailian rainforest.)
