Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation
Actor Leonardo DiCaprio is well known as dedicated environmentalist and has received praise from environmental groups for his activism. He owns eco-friendly cars- an electric Tesla Roadster, a Fisker Karma plug-in and a Toyota Puris. He has also installed solar panels on his house. In an interview he cited global warming as "the number-one environmental challenge." While filming The Revenant DiCaprio was quoted as having witnessed global warming in action, while in Alberta, Canada.
"We were in Calgary and the locals were saying, 'This has never happened in out province ever.' We would come and there would be eight feet of snow, and then all of a sudden a warm gust of wind would come... it was scary. I've never experienced something so firsthand that was so dramatic. You see the fragility of nature and how easily things can be completely transformed with just a few degrees difference. It's terrifying, and it's what people are talking about all over the world. And it's simply getting worse".
The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation is dedicated to the long-term health and wellbeing of all Earth's inhabitants. Through collaborative partnerships, we support innovative projects that protect vulnerable wildlife from extinction, while restoring balance to threatened ecosystems and communities. The foundation works in four key areas: protecting biodiversity, wildlands conservation, oceans conservation and climate change. The foundation was founded in 1998 with the mission of protecting the world's last wild places. LDF implements solutions that help restore balance to threatened ecosystems, ensuring the long-term health and well-being of all Earth's inhabitants. Through grant making, public campaigns and media initiatives, the foundation hopes to bring attention to protecting biodiversity.
