Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation

Leonardo DiCaprio's environmental work is primarily channeled through the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation (LDF), which he founded in 1998 to support initiatives aimed at addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental conservation. Over the years, the foundation has funded more than $100 million in grants, supporting projects across six key areas: wildlife and wildlands conservation, marine conservation, climate change, renewable energy, indigenous rights, and the protection of vulnerable ecosystems​. LDF has played a significant role in addressing global environmental crises, partnering with organizations like the World Wildlife Fund, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and Re, an initiative focused on rewilding ecosystems​. Additionally, DiCaprio co-founded Earth Alliance in 2019 alongside Laurene Powell Jobs and Brian Sheth, to bring global attention to urgent environmental issues. The foundation has also contributed to projects like protecting wild tiger populations, restoring coastal ecosystems, and advancing renewable energy solutions.
