Subject: Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation June 2019: Updates & Opportunities

View this email in your browser June 2019 Newsletter Updates & Opportunities The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation (LDF) believes strongly in the power of collaboration.   We are experiencing what can only be called a planetary crisis: a convergence of accelerating climate change, unprecedented loss of biodiversity, and increasing human health issues caused by a toxic environment. To drive crucial results on an increasingly shorter timeline, we aim to support the best solutions, regardless of where they might be found. Our innovative Action Funds were born of this philosophy - providing highly targeted funding to projects from institutions big and small, harnessing the power of multiple organizations to save species and ecosystems. LDF is also proud to collaborate with corporations putting forth bold efforts to solve environmental challenges.  Read on for an exciting grant opportunity in collaboration with Microsoft's AI for Earth program and updates about our Action Funds. Grant Opportunity LDF & Microsoft: AI for Earth Innovation Grant LDF is excited to collaborate with Microsoft on the AI for Earth innovation grant. Microsoft’s AI for Earth program supports organizations who are working to solve global environmental challenges using artificial intelligence. One-year grants of up to $100,000 will support applicants in creating and deploying open source machine learning models, algorithms, and data sets that directly tackle environmental problems faced by the world today.    The application period is now open and will close on July 31, 2019 at 11:59pm PST. Only applications received during this period will be accepted.   LEARN MORE Action Fund Updates Photo credit: Alexander Ley The Pangolin Crisis Fund: Hope for Pangolins The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation (LDF) is proud to announce the launch of the Pangolin Crisis Fund in partnership with Wildlife Conservation Network (WCN) and Save Pangolins. The fund aims to raise awareness for the unique pangolin, native to Asia and Africa, and to eliminate the demand, trafficking, and poaching crisis that is putting them at risk of extinction. It is the third of WCN's Crisis and Recovery Funds offering specific, short-term funding to projects to save species at watershed moments.   Read More >  Creative Commons: Henrik Hansen Protect the Pride: Disney Commits to Help Bring Back Lions Next month, Disney is releasing a brand new The Lion King. Tragically, in the 25 years since the first film’s release, half of all wild lions in Africa have disappeared. In conjunction with the new movie, Disney has launched the "Protect the Pride" campaign, providing philanthropic support to the Lion Recovery Fund and promoting lion conservation to a global audience in celebration of one of their most successful franchises. In partnership with LDF, Wildlife Conservation Network launched the Lion Recovery Fund in 2017 to halt and reverse the decline of Africa's lion population.   Read More >  Support LDF in our mission to protect the long-term health and well-being of all Earth’s inhabitants by making a donation today.  MAKE A DONATION Share Tweet Forward
