Leonardo DiCaprio's foundation donated $1 million to save African elephants being killed for ivory tusks
The dramatic decline in elephant numbers is largely attributable to illegal hunting and the persistent ivory trade. Efforts such as the Elephant Crisis Fund are pivotal in stopping this trend. Leonardo DiCaprio's foundation has notably contributed to these conservation endeavors. Several countries have instated international prohibitions on ivory trade, and while conservation organizations observe a decrease in poaching, they also note the challenges in data accuracy.
