fWotD Episode 2381: Leonardo DiCaprio.Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Saturday, 11 November 2023 is Leonardo DiCaprio.Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio (, ; Italian: [diˈkaːprjo]; born November 11, 1974) is an American actor and film producer. Known for his work in biographical and period films, he is the recipient of numerous accolades, including an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award and three Golden Globe Awards. As of 2019, his films have grossed over $7.2 billion worldwide, and he has been placed eight times in annual rankings of the world's highest-paid actors.Born in Los Angeles, DiCaprio began his career in the late 1980s by appearing in television commercials. In the early 1990s, he had recurring roles in various television shows, such as the sitcom Parenthood, and had his first major film part as author Tobias Wolff in This Boy's Life (1993). He received critical acclaim and his first Academy Award and Golden Globe Award nominations for his performance as a developmentally disabled boy in What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993). DiCaprio achieved international stardom with the star-crossed romances Romeo + Juliet (1996) and Titanic (1997). After the latter became the highest-grossing film at the time, he reduced his workload for a few years. In an attempt to shed his image of a romantic hero, DiCaprio sought roles in other genres, including the 2002 crime dramas Catch Me If You Can and Gangs of New York; the latter marked the first of his many successful collaborations with director Martin Scorsese.DiCaprio continued to gain acclaim for his performances in the biopic The Aviator (2004), the political thriller Blood Diamond (2006), the crime drama The Departed (2006) and the romantic drama Revolutionary Road (2008). He later made environmental documentaries and starred in several high-profile directors' successful projects, including the action thriller Inception (2010), the western Django Unchained (2012), the biopic The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), the survival drama The Revenant (2015)—for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor— the comedy-dramas Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) and Don't Look Up (2021), and the western crime drama Killers of the Flower Moon (2023).DiCaprio is the founder of Appian Way Productions—a production company that has made some of his films and the documentary series Greensburg (2008–2010)—and the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, a nonprofit organization devoted to promoting environmental awareness. A United Nations Messenger of Peace, he regularly supports charitable causes. In 2005, he was named a Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for his contributions to the arts, and in 2016, he appeared in Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world. DiCaprio was voted one of the 50 greatest actors of all time in a 2022 readers' poll by Empire.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:39 UTC on Saturday, 11 November 2023.For the full current version of the article, see Leonardo DiCaprio on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Kimberly Neural.
“We're in this moment right now where we have a very short window to drive the type of transformative change that's necessary to solve a climate crisis. And we believe at One Earth that philanthropy can play a really, really critical role in actually making this transformation possible….But less than 2% of all philanthropic capital goes to climate and environment issues, and just a fraction of that actually reaches efforts on the ground efforts” Justin Winters on Electric Ladies Podcast We think it's hot where we are, but emerging and rural areas have it much worse. One strategy to help them is now called “philanthro-activism.” What is it ? Enter One Earth, a new kind of philanthropic organization, run by women who believe that the people on the ground know best what will help their communities and save the planet. Listen to Justin Winters, Executive Director and Cofounder of One Earth – and former head of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation – explain how they are pooling the resources of both some of the world's richest people and normal people like you and me to help the most diligent, creative people doing the real work every day to avert climate catastrophes in their areas in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies podcast host Joan Michelson. You'll hear: What Philanthro-activism is and why they coined the term. How they developed this creative business model – and what Winter learned at DiCaprio's Foundation. Stories of people on the ground who One Earth is supporting and why Which areas of the economy One Earth focuses on and why (such as food security) Plus, insightful career advice …. “I would put purpose at the center, and service because we're in a moment where it really is being ambitious. Doesn't have to be tied to resources, right? Being ambitious can be about the type of change that you want to drive in the world..” Justin Winters on Electric Ladies podcast You'll also want to listen to: Zainab Salbi, Cofounder of Daughters for Earth, one of the partners in One Earth – and Founder of Women to Women International and its former CEO Rosemary Atieno, Women Climate Centers International – on how they are helping women in rural Kenya grow their economies and address climate change at the same time. Natalie Jaresko, former finance minister of Ukraine – on the hidden power of ESG Kerry Bannigan, CEO of Fashion Impact Fund and Conscious Fashion Campaign – including reaching women in rural areas across the fashion industry supply chain · Sandrine Dixson, Co-president of the Club of Rome (global leaders) – on the need for a new economic model that puts people and planet ahead of profit.

Over the past 25 years, Africa has lost half of its lion population. The Lion Recovery Fund is a collaborative initiative created by the Wildlife Conservation Network in partnership with the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation with a vision to double the number of lions in Africa. Their investments also affect biodiversity, climate, and the people who live in and around Africa's majestic conservation areas. With lions as their primary focus, they can address these issues together. Dr Peter Lindsey identifies Africa's most innovative and effective projects to conserve lions and restore their landscapes. In this episode, Peter reflects on how his childhood passion inspired him to pursue a career in wildlife conservation in his adult life. He recalls his first time seeing a lion on a trip to the bush in Zimbabwe with his parents. He outlines the three different threats to lions: direct - poaching, trophy hunting, captures and snares; indirect - habitat loss, farming, mining and logging; and food sources - the poaching of lion's prey for bushmeat, and how they all contribute to the decline in the lion population. He expresses the critical role they play in the ecological system as one of the top predators, explaining that they are an “umbrella species,” so if you protect habitats and prey that lions depend on, you know that the ecosystem is pretty intact. Peter reveals that a common misconception people have about lions is that male lions are lazy, and females do all of the hunting - explaining that the two genders have different hunting habits. Finally, Peter shares his goal to double the lion population by 2050 and describes how humans and wildlife can co-exist in Africa.If you wish to support the cause or want to find out more, visit www.lionrecoveryfund.org/***This episode is brought to you by Kase Filters.

What is going on in Washington D.C.? A bubbling House Democrat feud followed by a series of racially offensive presidential tweets has unleashed chaos in the U.S Capitol. Meanwhile, there’s one thing we’re not seeing much of: governingIn this episode of Political Climate we look at where we’re seeing attempts at climate action, and where we’re seeing a whole lot of climate distraction. A slate of clean energy bills have been introduced in Congress this year. Do they have any hope of passing before the 2020 election?We also take a look at President Trump’s recent speech on the environment and the launch of a new Republican caucus on conservation. Does this prove that Republicans are seeing a real need to show leadership on the environment?Finally, we check in on the Democratic presidential primary, which just saw billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer enter the race and momentum slide for a candidate forum of climate change.

Twenty Democratic presidential candidates faced off last week in the first debate of the 2020 election. It was a mixed bag — not only for the candidates, but also for climate.There were more questions on climate change than in previous years, and yet climate issues saw just 15 minutes of airtime over the four hours the contenders were on stage. Did Democrats hit the right notes in their (brief) responses? Or did the first showing justify calls for a dedicated climate debate?Also, who were the overall winners and losers? And are Democrats more united or divided heading into the race against President Trump?In this week’s episode, we discuss how did candidates and climate change fared in the first round of debates.Plus, what the heck happened in Oregon? Republican legislators fled the state last month to resist voting on a cap-and-trade bill, and then fringe right-wing militia groups said they would protect the politicians if law enforcement officials tried to bring them back. We discuss how a climate bill went off the rails and whether Democrats can ever count on Republicans to act in good faith on climate.Recommended reading:Inside Climate: First 2020 Debates Spent 15 Minutes on Climate Change.

We often can’t see or feel air pollution — and yet, it is taking a toll. Air pollution is responsible for the early deaths of some 7 million people every year, around 600,000 of who are children, according to the United Nations. In this episode, we hear stories of how people around the world are calling attention to this invisible killer.We speak to Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, a mother campaigning to have pollution officially named as her daughter’s cause of death [3:30].We also talk to Beth Gardiner, the author of “Choked,” a book about science, politics and personal experiences linked to pollution [12:55].We hear from entrepreneur Romain Lacombe at Plume Labs, about his mission to map out city pollution the way that Google maps out traffic [20:00].And we learn about how a group of women in Southern California are trying to protect their town from the real-world health impacts of online-shopping in an interview with Grist reporter Justine Calma [28.05].Recommended reading:BBC: Ella Kissi-Debrah: New inquest into girl's 'pollution' deathChoked: Life and Breath in the Age of Air PollutionBloomberg: This Wearable Pollution Monitor Detects How Dirty Your Air IsGrist: The town that online shopping built — and women are trying to savePolitical Climate is produced in partnership with the USC Schwarzenegger Institute and The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation.Subscribe to the Political Climate podcast via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, GooglePlay, Overcast or any of these other services!
Democrats are dominating the public dialogue on climate change. That is just a fact. It’s part of their party platform in a way that it’s simply not for Republicans. And yet, things aren’t entirely black and white — or blue and red. In this episode, we look at a range of Republican views on climate issues, from flat out denialism to reticent acceptance to legitimate climate commitments. We discuss President Trump’s replacement for Obama’s Clean Power Plan, we look at new polling numbers that show Republican voters are concerned about their party’s stance on climate change, and we dig into conservative alternatives to the Green New Deal.The Republican Party stance on climate change is shifting — but will any conservative climate proposals actually address the issue?We sit down with former six-term South Carolina Congressman Bob Inglis, a thought leader of the eco-right, to get his take is on the current state of American politics and hear how he’s continuing to advance a conservative climate platform through his non-profit RepublicEN.

We are losing the fight against climate change, warns UN Secretary General António Guterres.Even if countries were on track to meet their Paris Agreement goals — which they’re not — the world would experience catastrophic levels of warming by the end of the century.But there are still signs of hope.In this episode Political Climate, we discuss the state of global climate action with Mr. Guterres in an interview recorded last week at the R20 Austrian World Summit in Vienna.Plus, Republicans attack their own on climate policy, while Democratic presidential hopefuls Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren roll out bold climate change plans.

Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg was all alone when she started protesting the lack of political action on climate change last year outside of the Swedish parliament. Today, climate strikes inspired by Thunberg are drawing out more than 1 million young people around the world. But as she tells Political Climate: the fight is “not over yet.”This week’s podcast was recorded at the R20 Austrian World Summit in Vienna, where former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger teamed up with Thunberg to call attention to the climate crisis. We sit down with Schwarzenegger to get his reaction to meeting Greta. Plus, we speak with the 16-year-old Swedish protester about her advice to climate activists in the U.S.We also discuss takeaways from the recent EU Parliament elections, where Green Party members saw big gains in some of Europe’s largest countries. Could these results foreshadow a green wave in the next U.S. election?Recommended reading:WaPo: Teen activist Thunberg urges leaders to admit climate crisisGuardian: European elections: triumphant Greens demand more radical climate actionYouTube: Greta Thunberg Joins Arnold Schwarzenegger & More To Deliver Speeches On ClimatePolitical Climate is produced in partnership with the USC Schwarzenegger Institute and The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation.Subscribe to the Political Climate podcast via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, GooglePlay and Overcast.
The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, which comes with both opportunities and risks.Climate change is opening up new shipping routes and increasing access to fossil fuel reserves, while also threatening ecosystems and fueling geopolitical tensions. Are we approaching the end of the polar peace zone?Earlier this month, the Arctic Council met in Finland to frame a collaborative agenda on economic development and environmental protection. But for the first time since the Council’s inception, participants failed to sign a joint declaration after the U.S. refused to accept language on climate change — sparking fury and confusion.In this episode, we speak with Retired Rear Admiral David Titley (9:45), meteorology professor at Penn State University, about the consequences of a warming Arctic.We also talk to Malte Humpert (28:35), founder of The Arctic Institute, about the significance of the Pompeo’s statements and takeaways from the latest Arctic Council summit.Plus, we discuss if there’s any chance of seeing climate policy pass in an infrastructure bill and co-host Brandon Hurlbut celebrates his first semi-viral tweet.

I was invited to a conference by a listener of this podcast, Rachel Wheeler, that I've never attended before. The conference is called the Collision Conference, which involves solving a number of problems through technology. There are 500 speakers at the conference including Prime Minister Trudeau, Seth Rogen, the CEO from the Plastic Pollution Coalition, and the CEO from the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation. Needless to say, I am pretty excited; however, I am a little nervous as I don't know what to expect. This episode is how I am prepping for a new conference and what I will do with my media badge.

AI cameras will be installed in the African wild to detect poachers. Resolve, a non-profit organization, worked with Intel to develop TrailGuard AI, a camera meant to prevent poaching. The camera can alert park rangers about suspicious activities, so they can intervene and determine if an arrest is necessary. The AI cameras will be planted in areas where poachers can easily access wild animals. The plan is for the cameras to be installed in national parks and wildlife reserves or protected areas around Africa, and later in South America and Southeast Asia. Resolve has previously made anti-poaching cameras, but TrailGuard AI is more sophisticated than its previous creations. What sets TrailGuard AI apart from older anti-poaching cameras is its capability to send alerts only when it detects humans and vehicles. It uses image classification technology, so the camera is highly accurate. This feature prevents the camera from alerting park rangers about false triggers, like the movement of birds or trees. TrailGuard AI is a miniature camera, so it is easy to conceal from poachers and wild animals. It also boasts a long battery life of almost 1.5 years. According to reports, poachers kill one African elephant every 15 minutes. If they are not stopped, the species will be extinct in a few decades. Since 1970, approximately 60% of extinct wildlife has been attributed to irresponsible human activities. The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, an organization that funded the development of TrailGuard AI, hopes that the camera can help curb the killing of endangered animals. The group is also hopeful that AI technology can further improve how endangered species are managed and monitored.
Thomas Byrne sits down with Terry Tamminen, CEO of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, to discuss climate change solutions, updates on progress from #California, and Terry’s journey to CEO of Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation (and of course what it’s like working with Leo).

Republicans are often viewed as enemies of the clean energy transition. Some people believe the GOP will never embrace climate action. So is voting them out the only way to save the planet?If you ask environmental policy pioneer Terry Tamminen, the solution isn’t that simple. As Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s pick to lead the California EPA, Tamminen found ways to craft ambitious clean energy policies and programs with buy-in from both Democrats and Republicans. In his current role as CEO of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, Tamminen is working to advance sustainability solutions across the country and around the world. In this episode of Political Climate, recorded live at GTM’s Solar Summit, we talk to Tamminen about why it’s important to get Republicans on board with the climate change agenda. Even if it means avoiding the words "climate change" altogether.We also discuss why Democrats are rallying around a 100 percent renewable energy target, when it has yet to be proven technically feasible. Plus, we talk about California's clash with Washington D.C. over fuel economy standards and whether philanthropy is proving we don't need to spend taxpayer dollars on fighting climate change.Recommended reading:Terry Tamminen: Leonardo DiCaprio FoundationLDF: Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation awards $20 million in environmental grantsGTM: Solar and Wind Companies Spend More on Republican Candidates Than DemocratsGTM: Mark Jacobson Drops Lawsuit Against Critics of His 100% Renewables PlanNYT: California Sues Trump Administration Over Car Emissions RulesBBC: Michael Bloomberg pledges $4.5m for Paris dealOr you can find it on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play or TuneIn.
