As it turns out, Leonardo DiCaprio has been actively contributing to causes working to clean up our planet through the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation. He has pledged $15 million to various environmental projects: Global Fishing Watch, Rainforest Acton Network, ClearWater, Nature Conservancy, and the Solutions Project. Leonardo DiCaprio reminds us that currently less than 3% of all philanthropic giving goes toward conservation, sustainability, and animal protection. He also points out that contributing to ecological projects can also have economic benefit.
