Say what you will about celebrities speaking on things when they should stick to acting. I know I often do, but DiCaprio has put more money into conservation, actual conservation, than almost any celebrity ever... $1 million to fight poaching Africa. $1 million to the Wildlife Conservation Society $2 million to marine conservation group Oceans 5 Another $7 Million to Marine Conservation Via his Foundation $38 Million raised for conservation efforts Via an Art Auction $3 million to Oceana $3 Million for Wild Tiger Conservation. “We have to start looking at the planet in the same way we look at fine art as something of value that we can protect and preserve for our children and our grandchildren,” said DiCaprio. DiCaprio has been very vocal about the fact that less than 2% of philanthropic dollars globally support conservation projects, despite the fact that 140,000 animal and plant species are becoming extinct every year, which is 10,000 times the historic extinction rate. Oh yeah, and he is a herp keeper too. q13fox/2014/10/17/dicaprio-netflix-agree-to-team-up-on-film-about-endangered-gorillas/
