In other words, to protect endangered species from extinction is the goal/aim of DiCaprio's organization. |
A project led by actor Leonardo DiCaprio has promised $43 million to "rewild" the Galápagos Islands, as well as all of Latin America's Pacific islands.
In a May 17 Twitter post announcing the project, DiCaprio wrote, "more than half of Earth's remaining wild areas could disappear in the next few decades." He said that Re:wild will help protect what's still wild, and restore what is not.
Some of the promised $43 million will help restore Floreana Island, the sixth largest island in the Galápagos.
Floreana is home to 55 threatened species, and according to the Galapagos Conservation Trust, there are 12 more species that have already disappeared from the island and need to be brought back. One of those species is the Floreana mockingbird, which was the first type of mockingbird described by Charles Darwin when he came to the islands in 1835.
Money will also go to helping the pink iguana and the Floreana tortoise, and more will be done to help protect the islands from the impact of tourism.
Found about 1,000 kilometers from the coast of Ecuador, the Galápagos Islands are famous for having plants and animals that aren't found anywhere else in the world. But the islands' environment is now threatened by illegal fishing, tourism and species that arrived along with humans, including cats, rats and fire ants.
