The article links to a more accurate piece. He did buy the property for $15M. He then created an easement preventing development and donated that easement to US Fish & wildlife.
He has also bought other property for the same purpose.
He created this easement partially because a developer sued to use eminent domain to force him to allow them to construct a power line across the property.
