Leo is an environmentalist off screen! He donated 5 million yuan to the Amazon rainforest fire

According to Variety's report today (26), international superstar Leonardo Dicaprio, also known as "Little Leo" by domestic fans, officially announced that he would donate 5 million US dollars to the Amazon rainforest fire through his environmental protection organization "Earth Alliance".

The Earth Alliance founded by Leo urgently established the Amazon Rainforest Foundation on Sunday, and together with local Amazonians, distributed the 5 million donations to five local environmental research institutes to save and protect the Amazon rainforest that was devastated by fire.

According to the foundation's website, Brazil's National Institute reported 72,000 fires this year, nearly double the 40,000 reported last year. This is mainly due to a surge in deforestation caused by livestock and feed crops. The fires have caused widespread anger on social media, and Leo has also spoken out on Instagram, calling on people to raise awareness of environmental protection:

“As the world’s largest rainforest, the Amazon is a key part of the solution to global climate change. Without the Amazon, we will not be able to control global warming.”
