    DiCaprio Donates $1 Million to Save Tigers

    LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Leonardo DiCaprio on Tuesday donated $1 million toward efforts to save tigers from extinction as he arrived in Moscow to take part in an international "tiger summit."

    The star of movies "Titanic" and "Inception" made the $1 million commitment to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), with whom he has been working this year on the Save Tigers Now campaign.

    DiCaprio, 36, is a committed environmentalist and a WWF board member who recently visited Nepal and Bhutan and toured a tiger habitat by elephant with an anti-poaching staff.

    According to wildlife experts just 3,200 tigers now live in the wild, down from 100,000 a century ago. Russia is hosting a 13-nation meeting in St Petersburg this week to try and double the world's wild tiger population by 2022.

    DiCaprio is among those attending the first-ever tiger summit. The actor's first attempt to get to St Petersburg suffered a set-back on Sunday when his commercial flight to Moscow was forced to return to New York after one of the plane's engines shut down.

    DiCaprio "wishes to commend the actions of the pilot and flight crew in bringing the plane to a safe landing," the actor's representative said in a statement.

    DiCaprio's $1 million donation will help support anti-poaching efforts and protect critical tiger forests where the needs are most urgent.

    "Illegal poaching of tigers for their parts and massive habitat loss due to palm oil, timber and paper production are driving this species to extinction," he said. "If we don't take action now, one of the most iconic animals on our planet could be gone in just a few decades. By saving tigers, we can also protect some of our last remaining ancient forests and improve the lives of indigenous communities."

    The 13 countries where tigers still exist are Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Russia, Thailand and Vietnam.

    Good for him. Hopefully others will follow suit. Sickens me that Tigers will only exist in captivity in just a few short years if this trend continues. Poaching in particular really pisses me off. All the attention brought on by the summit will hopefully make a difference for the Tiger, as well as the multiple other animal species being hunted into extinction for no reason other than greed.

    Where those Chinese going to get their powder tiger dick from......oh that's right USE SOME FUCKING VIAGRA you shrimp dicked little cunt-eyed mongrels...
    Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
    not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
    and drag down the features of age,
    no folds or creases from unkempt wear
    eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
    no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
    but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

    That is good, from a guy you never see on TMZ, or in the tabloids, or getting arrested for breaking some kind of law, to just being a woman beater.

    Hollywood needs more professional people like this, IMO, of course!

    yes, he seems like a stand up guy that has not let his fame and fortune ruin him, I have heard before that he is a big environmentalist and he drives a hybrid car, I think a Toyota or something.
