Leonardo DiCaprio has doubled down on his plea for logging to come to an end in Tasmania, just days out from the state election.
An Academy Award winning actor has made a desperate plea to the Tasmanian government, just days out from the state election.
“Our planet’s last remaining ‘giants’ are in danger. The native forests of Tasmania are one of the only places on Earth where trees naturally tower over 280 feet tall,” he wrote in a post. DiCaprio added that his organisation Re:wild and its partners would continue to “encourage the Australian government to uphold their zero extinction commitment” by ending the logging of native forests in mainland Australia and Tasmania.
Mr Brown responded to DiCaprio’s latest post, thanking the star for his support for the foundation’s campaign.
