Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio has got a special invitation from Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma to visit wildlife sanctuary Kaziranga National Park & Tiger Reserve from Assam, after the Hollywood actor lauded the state government for its efforts to stop poaching of the animal.
In an Instagram post, DiCaprio wrote that the efforts of the Assam government that started in 2021 met success the next year when no rhinos were poached in Kaziranga National Park.
In his long post, Leonardo praised the Assam government’s decision to end the poaching of the Endangered Greater One-Horned Rhinoceros in Kaziranga National Park. This decision had come in light of the fact that around 190 animals were killed for their horns between 2000 and 2021. “In 2022, they met their goal and no rhinos were poached in the area for the first time since 1977,” the star added.
For the unversed, Leonardo DiCaprio is an avid environmentalist and has been working extensively towards wildlife preservation through the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation projects for over a decade.
