Leonardo DiCaprio has talked a lot about environmental conservation, and now he’s putting a lot of money where his mouth is. <br />According to the New York Post’s Page Six, DiCaprio’s Foundation is awarding $20 million dollars in grants to more than 100 environmentally focused organizations. <br />The grants will reportedly help with six specific focuses, including climate change, wildlife and landscape conservation, marine life and ocean conservations, innovative solutions, indigenous rights, and the California program. <br />DiCaprio recently spoke at a Yale Climate Conference, where he put an emphasis on encouraging a global shift from fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy. <br />Page Six reports that the The DiCaprio Foundation’s CEO says, “This round of grants comes at a critical time… With a lack of political leadership, and continued evidence that climate change is growing worse with record-breaking heat waves and storms, we believe we need to do as much as we can now, before it is too late.” <br />Here’s hoping the more than $80 million dollars DiCaprio’s Foundation has put towards grants since 1998 will reach their goals. <br />
