He earned many accolades throughout his career, including an Academy and Golden Globe Awards. Beyond his extensive career in Hollywood, DiCaprio is also a known environmental advocate.

The veteran actor recently shared on Instagram a picture of a large ancient tree wrapped in an aluminum blanket with a lengthy message he reposted from journalist Mosheh Oinuonuo, which read:

"From @mosheh: Firefighters are wrapping fire-resistant blankets around ancient trees as blazes tear through California's world-famous Sequoia National Park."

The tree, called General Sherman, is one of the famous age-old trees housed in Sequoia National Park in California. It is about 2,500 years old and the biggest single-stem tree by volume on Earth.

According to DiCaprio's eye-opening post, the firefighters wrapped the gigantic tree with aluminum blankets to protect it from another blaze in California.

He earlier praised teen activist Greta Thunberg when they met and described her as the "leader of our time."

NPR recently reported about flames reaching a group of sequoia trees, prompting firefighters to launch efforts to prevent the fire from spreading. They used aluminum blankets as it is known to be fire-resistant.

Fires that ravaged California's lush forests are among the results of what activists and scientists claim as an ongoing environmental crisis. DiCaprio has never been shy about using his platform to share concerns about the effects of climate change.
