Leonardo DiCaprio Speaks Up For Wildlife

Here in this video, international movie star and heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio tells us about the threats facing our beautiful natural wildlife and their habitats caused by accelerated human disturbances such as population growth and commercial globalization.

Kenya's Maru National Park was close to being wiped out as illegal poachers systematically slaughtered beautiful elephants, and other incredible wild animals for their body parts, which are used to generate money in the wildlife trade around the world.

Leo explains how the kind caring individuals of IFAW and the Kenyan Wildlife Service are working to restore this land back to the way it was, and to provide a home safe from the hands of selfish and greedy humans; for all the beautiful wild animals of the region.

Our wildlife is under threat, not just here; but all over the world, and it's important we work to stop these animals ending up in sanctuaries, zoos and in un-natural environments; and make sure they are roaming the plains and doing what these incredible majestic beautiful creatures were meant to do.

For more information on issues facing our natural wildlife and the habitats they call home. Please visit IFAW's (International Fund for Animal Welfare) official website at www.ifaw.org

You guys don´t understandt ... those who say they are mean or bad people don´t realize many african people are starving and just fighting for their own lives and to get a salary... they are not as much informed as we are about ecosystem ... don´t blame that people but rather their governments once the politicians are the ones who really can understand the impact on wildlife and therefore make a difference.

Dear Seal Angel: Perhaps if you didn't come off as a human hating idealist, I'd be more inclined to watch this video. As it is, after reading your lovely description, I think I'll pass. You stick with PETA, and I'll keep giving money to Zoos who DO have wild-release programs, and do help provide care and protection for these animals in the wild, as well as providing the public with a chance to see them up close.

Good day.

i agree with you apa..the governments of the countries concerned are the ones responsible for the tragedy happening to wildlife. in malaysia the the wildlife protection act 1976 has never been reviewed though there are pressures from various quarters. and today we have only 10 leatherback turtles left heading towards total extinction.
