Actor/activist Leonardo
DiCaprio just cut a very large check via his foundation on behalf of
lions in Nepal.
His Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation has
awarded $3 million in grants to the World Wildlife Fund
(WWF) to work with the Nepal
government on protecting the animals.
In a statement Wednesday, the actor and
activist said he's "hopeful" the money will help "exceed the
goal" of doubling the tiger population that exists in Nepal now...
The hope is to increase the number of tigers in Nepal by 2022, which is the Chinese
Year of the Tiger.
DiCaprio's charitable efforts extend to
increasing awareness of and battling global warming.
