Which famous singer/songwriter set up a charity to protect an endangered species, along with a US Senator, in 1981? What was the endangered species? And who was the Senator?

Paul Simon, Ronald Reagan, Duckbilled Platypus?

I really have no idea whatsoever.

Just because I feel the need to be pedantic:

Did the senator set up the charity along with the singer/songwriter, or did the singer/songwriter want the senator to be protected along with the endangered species?

Dunno about the latter, but it was set up by the senator and the songwriter.
