亞馬遜雨林大火 里安納度帶頭捐出4000萬賑災

里安納度·狄卡比奧(Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio)貴為完美的男神,當然無論外型、演技都同樣吸引人。本已滿身榮譽的他對於環保工作更是不遺餘力,在1998年成立了環保慈善基金,在3年前更捐出了1.2億港元以支持保育運動。

近日「地球之肺」亞馬遜雨林史無前例的大火已經連續焚燒了接近三個星期,由於起初關注度不足,多位名人先後在社交平台上呼籲群眾關注事件。里安納度除了也發長文講述現時情況之嚴峻、亞馬遜雨林的重要性和可以怎樣幫助雨林外,更在今天宣佈捐出4000萬港元幫助雨林的修復和保護。

對於這樣的一個里安納度,你還能怎樣挑剔他?希望亞馬遜雨林的火災能夠盡快平息,地球已禁不起這樣的傷害了。

#Regram #RG @rainforestalliance: The lungs of the Earth are in flames. 🔥 The Brazilian Amazon—home to 1 million Indigenous people and 3 million species—has been burning for more than two weeks straight. There have been 74,000 fires in the Brazilian Amazon since the beginning of this year—a staggering 84% increase over the same period last year (National Institute for Space Research, Brazil). Scientists and conservationists attribute the accelerating deforestation to President Jair Bolsonaro, who issued an open invitation to loggers and farmers to clear the land after taking office in January.⁣ ⁣ The largest rainforest in the world is a critical piece of the global climate solution. Without the Amazon, we cannot keep the Earth’s warming in check. ⁣ ⁣ The Amazon needs more than our prayers. So what can YOU do?⁣ ⁣ ✔ As an emergency response, donate to frontline Amazon groups working to defend the forest. ⁣ ✔ Consider becoming a regular supporter of the Rainforest Alliance’s community forestry initiatives across the world’s most vulnerable tropical forests, including the Amazon; this approach is by far the most effective defense against deforestation and natural forest fires, but it requires deep, long-term collaboration between the communities and the public and private sectors. ✔ Stay on top of this story and keep sharing posts, tagging news agencies and influencers. ⁣ ✔ Be a conscious consumer, taking care to support companies committed to responsible supply chains.⁣ Eliminate or reduce consumption of beef; cattle ranching is one of the primary drivers of Amazon deforestation. ✔ When election time comes, VOTE for leaders who understand the urgency of our climate crisis and are willing to take bold action—including strong governance and forward-thinking policy.⁣ ⁣ #RainforestAlliance #SaveTheAmazon #PrayForAmazonia #AmazonRainforest #ActOnClimate #ForestsResist #ClimateCrisis 📸: @mohsinkazmitakespictures / Windy.com
