All true fans know that Leonardo DiCaprio has been a prominent environmental advocate in Hollywood for years now.
The foundation has the "mission of protecting the world’s last wild places."
His tireless efforts have been acknowledged by the UN, as evident by his role as the United Nations Messenger of Peace for Climate Change!
According to Upworthy, the Hollywood heartthrob also serves on the board of several environmental organizations including the World Wildlife Fund, Natural Resources Defense Council, National Geographic’s Pristine Seas, Oceans 5, and the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
To celebrate, the actor hosted an event "to raise funds for its global environmental efforts to address climate change and protect biodiversity."
As he went on to say, "Whether it be individuals, grassroots movements or major nonprofits, we wanted to focus on getting critical funding to those who could have the greatest impact."
"Since 1998, we have supported over 200 projects on every continent and in every ocean from habitat and species conservation, renewable energy, climate change, indigenous rights, and more."
WOW, isn't that so awesome?!
And that includes fully calling out President Donald Trump.
In regards to the Paris climate accord, which President Trump announced a withdrawal from two years ago, DiCaprio remarked: “It's become clear that our political leaders have failed to live up to the promises that we celebrated that day."
"And our leaders, those whom we entrust to protect us and set the example, are either failing to stop these dangerous trends or, in some cases, denying the very science of this climate catastrophe."
