Investigadores del Real Jardín Botánico de Kew, en Reino Unido, han bautizado ‘Uvariopsis dicaprio’ a una especie de árbol recientemente descubierta en Camerún en homenaje al actor americano Leonardo DiCaprio, en particular por su contribución a la protección del bosque africano de Ebo, una de las selvas tropicales más extensas del mundo, frente a la amenaza de la tala.
El ‘Uvariopsis dicaprio’ se describe como un pequeño árbol tropical de hoja perenne con flores amarillas alrededor del tronco. Crece sólo en este lugar del país centroafricano y su estado actual es de peligro crítico de extinción. Se trata de la primera planta nueva nombrada oficialmente por los científicos de Kew en 2022.
En 2020, DiCaprio lanzó una campaña en sus redes sociales para proteger esta selva tropical, después de que el Gobierno de Camerún concediera un permiso para la tala del bosque con vistas a la producción de madera. Finalmente, el Gobierno camerunés revocó esta decisión.
Esta reserva alberga ejemplares únicos de flora y de fauna, como gorilas, chimpancés y elefantes, muchos de ellos en peligro de extinción.
DiCaprio: “Cameroon’s Ebo Forrest is home to gorillas and chimpanzees.”
Everyone else: “The entire Continent of Africa is home to gorillas and chimpanzees!”
You think it was a bad thing he did then? How? I for one don’t see anything whatsoever wrong in fighting to save forests, especially one like this which is totally unique in the life forms it hosts, in the world. There is no other in the whole world like it. Isn’t that a good thing, no? But you feel aggrieved about it and mock him? And what does “woke” have anything to do with it? I keep seeing that word, but have to confess to not being overly familiar with it, myself? Context is everything, or should be, surely?

CommentYou go, Leo ! ♥
con las moscatelli que tiene a dui caprio nunca lo van a dejar “plantado”
Can he be made into a carving?
That explains his wooden acting.
I just threw up in my mouth.
DiCaprio: “Cameroon’s Ebo Forrest is home to gorillas and chimpanzees.”
Everyone else: “The entire Continent of Africa is home to gorillas and chimpanzees!”
i thought he was a vegetable, not a tree. but maybe these two are not mutually exclusive.
LOL
He has “branches” everywhere
When reading the title thought he started identifying as one…
me too
When are they going to attach a methane collector… to all these woke actor’s mouths?

I’m sure he’s committed his fortune to the effort, to the point of poverty. Right?
He`s a fu..ing hypocrite.
he should change his name to Uvariopsis
Kinda complicated.
¡Bien por Leonardo Di Caprio!
