DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio, an Academy Award winner, has been an outspoken advocate for environmental issues throughout much of his career.
In 1998, at the age of 24, DiCaprio established his foundation with the mission of protecting the Earth's last wild places and implementing solutions to build a more harmonious relationship between humanity and the natural world,

Through grantmaking, public campaigns, and media projects, he has worked to bring attention and funding to the protection of biodiversity, ocean and forest conservation, and climate change.
In 2021, DiCaprio announced a US$43 million pledge to enact sweeping conservation operations across the Galapagos Islands, with his social media accounts taken over by a wildlife veterinarian and island restoration specialist, according to
The Guardian.
