His post was divided into social networks by many public figures, including Rita Ora.
The singer restored the picture, showing that she agrees with what DiCaprio had written.
“While we expect the federal prime minister and his government in Bosnia and Herzegovina to take legal steps to protect the country's Blue Heart rivers from further destruction by small hydropower plants, there are very promising news coming from Albania. Vjosa, one of Europe's last wild rivers, can be saved from the development of hydropower plants.
On 25 September, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama announced that the Calivac dam project was rejected and that the area would become a national park. The Vjosa River National Park would become Europe's largest river conservation site that covers several hundred miles of rivers and streams and protects hundreds or even thousands of species, such as Europe's recent global risk eel and Vjosa butterfly.
This would be a major achievement for Albania and the rest of Europe, and the park could become a model for the Biodiversity Strategy within the framework of the Green Agreement. Waiting for more good news about concrete actions for the permanent and full protection of rivers in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania and the rest of the Balkan Heart region,” -- had written the actor yesterday.
In October of the following year, DiCaprio surprised his followers with a post showing that he had joined the Vjosa River protection campaign from the construction of hydropower plants.
It was strictly against the construction and touch of the river at that time.
