O DiCaprio κολυμπάει με καρχαρίες

O Leonardo DiCaprio σφραγίζει τον αγώνα και την οικολογική του ταυτότητα.Ο Leonardo DiCaprio, διάσημος οικολόγος  is throwing his weight behind a campaign to ban the sale of shark fins in California.The 36-year-old actor wrote a letter to officials in the state pledging his support for the Assembly Bill 376 - which would make it illegal to possess, sell, or trade sought-after fins.According to the Daily Star, the letter to members of the California State Senate read, 'The International Union for the Conservation of Nature has concluded that a third of shark species are now threatened with extinction of some kind. And recent estimates state that up to 73 million sharks are killed each year for use in shark fin soup and other products.'Traditionally shark fin was affordable only to the elite, and consequently the issue of decimation of species was not a concern. But with the explosion of the world's population, and an increasing number of wealthy consumers, this can no longer be considered true, as has been evidenced by the decimation of shark populations worldwide.'Despite fisheries' attempts at regulation, the inhumane practice of finning continues unabated too, as does the illegal capture of sharks from marine reserves and sovereign waters.'
