Oscar winner Jared Leto becomes WWF ambassador

By 3p Contributor

Award-winning actor, musician and director Jared Leto has taken on a new role...this time as a WWF Global Ambassador.

Leto (pictured above) recently travelled to South Africa with WWF to learn first-hand about the rhino poaching crisis and WWF’s efforts to save rhino populations across Africa and Asia.
 
“Being that close to majestic creatures like rhinos and elephants reminds me of the deep connection and important responsibility we have to protect and shepherd these fragile species and their habitats," commented Leto.

"I’m committed and passionate about doing all I can to help ensure that these endangered animals survive, and will continue to encourage others to get into action as well. We must join together and protect these powerful yet extremely vulnerable animals from all the senseless slaughter and double our efforts to restore their populations across Africa and Asia. It can and – with a focused global effort – will be done."
