Fresh off a best actor win at the 2016 Oscars during which he made a speech that touched on the consequences of climate change, Leonardo DiCaprio paid a visit to Mount Leuser national park in Sumatra, Indonesia, to lend support to local groups working to preserve the area's ecosystem.
DiCaprio posted a photo from his journey on Instagram, writing that the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation is "supporting local partners to establish a mega-fauna sanctuary" in the Leuser ecosystem, a landscape endangered by palm oil plantations, mining, logging and other development threats.
