American actor Leonardo DiCaprio has denied a claim by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro that he had helped fund groups

by donating $500,000 to a group he said had started fires in the ecologically sensitive forest in order to attract donations. DiCaprio, long an environmental activist, said in his denial that"the future of these irreplaceable ecosystems is at stake, and I am proud to stand with the groups protecting them."Since 2018, the Alter do Chao volunteer fire brigade has helped firefighters combat huge blazes in northern Para state, including a recent fire in the Alter do Chao region that destroyed the equivalent of 1,600 soccer fields.

Di Caprio is a mere actor repeating someone else’s lines in front of a camera and gets paid well above his contribution. There is no equivalence between them. Dear me.
