Earth Day, April 22 – Leo DiCaprio: ‘Unlocking Nature’s Secrets Will Help Us Solve The Climate Crisis’

On Earth Day, April 22, there will be awareness-raising events across the globe trying to connect people to the planet that is their only home. In this week alone, news about our planet is grave. The last male northern white rhino must now be kept under armed guard 24/7; one of the last six Irrawaddy river dolphins just perished; the pace of deforestation in the Amazon has more than doubled in the past six months; the California drought data is more brutal by the day; and Arctic sea ice hit a record low for this time of year — to mention but a few. As humans gnaw away at the planet day by day and the bad news piles up, it must be clear to most that we are literally biting the hand that feeds us.
