Leonardo DiCaprio
is known to be a passionate advocate for environmental issues, having shown
dedication to wildlife conservation throughout his Hollywood career. However,
even his most ardent admirers don’t realise just how influential the
44-year-old actor and environmentalist has been over the years.
The Golden Globe
Award winner established the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation (LDF) in 1998, just
one year after he made fans swoon as Jack ‘Paint me like one of your French
girls’ Dawson in Titanic. DiCaprio was only 24-years-old at the time, but
already showing a deep commitment to protecting the planet for future
generations.
In the two decades
since, DiCaprio has harnessed his glittering fame and success for the best
possible purpose; supporting more than 200 environmentally focused projects
across the globe.
The extent of the
foundation’s good work was evident at the 20th anniversary celebrations, a day
which also celebrated DiCaprio’s 44th birthday. As well as presenting
several worthy awards, DiCaprio also gave some very special news; announcing
$11 million worth of new grant funding across each of the foundation’s six
program areas.
