DiCaprio endorses petition to save Sumatra’s last great rainforest

Leonardo DiCaprio has endorsed a Change.org petition asking Indonesian leaders to protect the Leuser Ecosystem, one of Southeast Asia’s last great swaths of rainforest.

Several times in recent days, the Oscar winner and environmental activist has exhorted his Twitter followers to sign the petition, which asks Indonesian president Joko Widodo, Aceh governor Zaini Abdullah and others to revoke the province’s new spatial plan, which makes no mention of Leuser and thus exposes its pristine forests and tiger habitat to industrial incursions.
