medcom.id, Aceh: Oscar winning actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, visited Indonesia. From pictures in social media, DiCaprio was seen at Gunung Leuser National Park in Aceh.
In a picture uploaded in DiCaprio's Instagram account, the actor posed with two Sumatran elephants and park rangers.
"The lowland rainforest of the Leuser Ecosystem are considered the world’s best remaining habitat for the critically endangered Sumatran elephant," wrote DiCaprio in the picture.
"But the expansion of Palm Oil plantations is fragmenting the #forest and cutting off key elephant migratory corridors, making it more difficult for elephant families to find adequate sources of food and water. The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation is supporting local partners to establish a mega-fauna sanctuary in the Leuser Ecosystem, last place on Earth where Sumatran orangutans, tigers, rhinos and elephants coexist in the wild," he continued.
Other pictures in social media showed DiCaprio used helicopter as transportation.
DiCaprio is well known as environmentalist. In his winning speech in Oscar last February, he conveyed message about the importance of environmental issues.
"Making The Revenant was about man's connection to the natural world. We felt in 2015 it was the hottest year on the planet. Climate change is real, it's happening right now, it's the most urgent threat affecting our entire species, we need to work right now and stop procrastinating," he said in his acceptance speech.
DiCaprio owns a foundation named Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation which focus on environment issues. In 2015, the foundation donated USD15 million for nature conservation.
