Leonardo DiCaprio has pledged $5 million to the emergency Amazon Forest Fund created by Earth Alliance, an organization he formed with Laurene Powell Jobs and Brian Sheth last month.
That financial commitment will be used towards providing “critical resources for indigenous communities and other local partners working to protect the life-sustaining biodiversity of the Amazon against the surge of fires currently burning across the region.” Those local groups fighting to protect the Amazon include the Coordination of the Indigenous Organizations of the Brazilian Amazon, Instituto Associacao Floresta Protegida, Instituto Kabu, Instituto Raoni, and Instituto Socioambiental.
