Leonardo DiCaprio Plans Trip to India to Raise Awareness About Tigers
Actor and Eco Celeb Leonardo DiCaprio has set his sights on India. DiCaprio has selected India for his next stop for World Wildlife Foundation to help raise awareness about Tigers.
Indian Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh DiCaprio "is very keen to work on tiger conservation. He wants to take on a more visible role. Somebody like him could play an important role in sensitizing the global community to the cause of the Indian tiger".
Leo is awesome is a big spokesman for the Green Movement, so hopefully his involvement with the WWF and his trip to India will help raise more awareness for the phlight of Tigers.
Here are some more details from Ecorazzi:
By working with the WWF on their "Save Tigers Now" campaign, the 35-year-old hopes to help raise more than $20 million to double the tiger population by 2022. But Leo says it's more than just tigers were saving - it's also habitat.
"The Indonesian rain forests and jungles throughout all of Asia are being decimated, cut down and not protected," he said earlier in July. "The animals are being poached so the idea is to take this one species, bring a lot of funding behind it, get the local communities involved to protect the animal, get more anti-poachers in place and you can save their habitat."
