Leonardo DiCaprio Launches Virunga Fund With Earth Alliance To Give Back To Africa's Oldest Park

Leonardo DiCaprio is giving back a lot with the brand new Virunga Fund, as part of his foundation, Earth Alliance, that was co-founded with Emerson Collective and Global Wildlife Conservation.

 

The Virunga Fund will directly benefit the Virunga National Park, the oldest park and reserve in Africa with $2 million in seed funding.

 

Virunga National Park is home to the famed mountain gorilla, which has bounced back from the brink of extinction, and is currently under threats of both Ebola and COVID-19.

 

Less than two weeks ago, 12 park rangers, a driver and four members of the local community also lost their lives in a ferociously violent attack by a militia group.

 

“I had the great honor of meeting and supporting Virunga’s courageous team in their fight against illegal oil drilling in 2013,” Leonardo shared in a statement. “Virunga urgently needs funds to protect the endangered mountain gorilla population, to provide support to the rangers and the families of rangers who have fallen in the line of duty, and to help deliver essential disease prevention efforts. It’s critical that we rally together during this time of incredible crisis.”

The Virunga Fund will aid in protecting the future of the protected area and the communities that surround the park, as well as providing urgent support for partners on the ground to deliver critical disease prevention efforts, law enforcement, the protection of keystone species.

If you missed it, Leo is also taking part in the All In Challenge.

Hulu Lands Leonardo DiCaprio Produced Doc 'And We Go Green'

The film, which documents the rise of Formula E electric car racing, will premiere on the service on June 4.

A documentary about the rise of Formula E electric car racing, And We Go Green, will stream exclusively in the U.S. on Hulu.

 

Oscar winner Fisher Stevens (Before the Flood) and Malcolm Venville directed the movie. Leonardo DiCaprio, who previously collaborated with Fisher on Before the Flood, produced the doc that deals with on combating global warming and air pollution under his Appian Way banner.

 

RadicalMedia, the non-fiction company behind What Happened, Miss Simone? and recent release Spaceship Earth, and Bloomfish Productions, the banner behind HBO doc Bright Lights, also produced.

 

The doc is a behind-the-scenes look at the ABB FIA Formula E Championship and chronicles how the groundbreaking series has become the world’s fastest growing motorsport since its inception in 2014. The film follows the professional drivers, including reigning champion Jean-Eric Vergne and former Formula E driver Nelson Piquet Jr., on the international Formula E circuit as they race for victory across 10 major cities to contest the 2017/18 season.

 

Along with DiCaprio and Stevens, Christopher St. John, Jennifer Davisson and Zara Duffy also produced. Jon Kamen, Dave Sirulnick, Justin Wilkes, Alejandro Agag and Rick Yorn acted as exec producers.

 

And We Go Green, which screened at both Cannes and TIFF, will premiere on the service on June 4.

 

“Originally, we thought we were making a film about the environment,” Stevens and Venville shared. “We realized the best way to get the world to pay attention to climate change is to make a film about people — in this case, race car drivers and an upstart with a vision to disrupt racing series forever.”

 

“The documentary encapsulates the true mission and purpose of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship, to show how competition drives technological development and how the excitement of sport can have a meaningful social impact and alter perceptions of electric vehicles," added Formula E Founder and Chairman Alejandro Agag, who also appears in the film.

 "It’s time for the world to embrace alternatives to the fossil fuel dilemma and to think ahead of ourselves in terms of a more positive future. And We Go Green paves the way," added RadicalMedia CEO Jon Kamen.

And more screencaps from documentary, 2005/2006 are really my fave Leo's era, that beauty.   :baronfaint:

Same here :drool2: He never was more sexy/attractive (at least to me). Leo in 2006 is like the most underrated look ever. Could look at him forever (and cry over this flawless humam being) :wub::cry2:

 

Thanks all for the updates :flower:
