Dicaprio Uses Bolivian Photographer Images To Raise Species Conservation Awareness

The Hollywood star, Leonardo DiCaprio, asked for awareness about the conservation of species and lamented the illegal trafficking of animals, using photographs of the Bolivian artist David Grunbaum and the Spanish resident in Bolivia, Daniel Alarcón, through a post on their social networks.

“Every year thousands of wild birds are illegally hunted and traded throughout Latin America for the pet trade, causing declines in their wild population. In a new project, Daniel Alarcón and David Grunbaum captured shocking images of birds that were rescued from trafficking of pets and indiscriminate hunting. They hope that their images inspire conservation actions for the species that are already globally threatened, “wrote the Oscar-winning actor on his Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Alarcón and Grunbaum are wildlife photographers. At the end of 2020, they jointly published the book “Family Portraits”, in which they portray more than a hundred species, including frogs, bees, ants, fish, reptiles, mammals and invertebrates, that were rescued from captivity, zoos or that they were investigated for scientific purposes.
