DiCaprio is presently in Asia learning about decreasing tiger population. “Tigers are endangered and critical to some of the world's most important ecosystems. Key conservation efforts can save the tiger species from extinction, protect some of the planet's last wild habitats and help sustain the local communities surrounding them," the Daily Express quoted him, as saying.
