Leonardo cares about elephants. An instagram post of his for the

U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s “I Choose Elephants Over Ivory Campaign” has garnered over 50k “likes” so far.

Leonardo writes: “Elephants are being poached at an alarming rate due to demand for their ivory. We choose elephants over ivory. Help us, help them by telling the world where you stand. #ivory #IvoryCrush #elephant #conservation #trafficking”

 

Stop Poaching Now. Ivory Belongs to Elephants & Elephants Only

 

One of his followers comments is particularly worth noting: “Thank you for your beyond kind donation to keep these incredible beings safe from poaching!! You’re a beautiful soul ♡”

Thank you, Leonardo DiCaprio, you are a “beautiful soul.”
