Leonardo DiCaprio has kicked off International Fund for Animal Welfare’s Animal Action Week, which is meant to get children involved with getting educated about animal welfare issues. The IFAW’s Animal Action Week is an 18 year old tradition that runs through October 10th, 2010.
This year’s theme for Animal Action Week is “Born to be Wild,” and it highlights the issue of tigers becoming extinct in the wild due to human influenced destruction like poaching and loss of habitat.
Tigers are dangerously close to vanishing forever,” said Mr. DiCaprio, an IFAW Honorary Board Member. “If we don’t want our children to grow up in a world where tigers are extinct, the time for action is now.”
