The Earth Alliance, an organization formed to combat climate change and biodiversity loss, was launched Tuesday with founding co-chairs Leonardo DiCaprio, businesswoman and philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs and investor and philanthropist Brian Sheth .
Essentially the Earth Alliance is joining the resources of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, the Emerson Collective and the Global Wildlife Conservation in an effort to save our planet from numerous threats to the environment.
According to Variety and MSN Entertainment, Earth Alliance will provide grants and educational opportunities, engage indigenous and local communities and work with grassroots organizations and individuals in the places most affected by biodiversity loss and climate change. Additionally, the Alliance will fund campaigns, documentary films, third- party independent environmental reporting and public speaking opportunities.
