Brazilian President Jaire Bolsonaro on Friday blamed US actor Leonardo DiCaprio for providing material support to non-profit organizations, which the president accuses of being part of the fires that devoured vast swathes of the Amazon jungle last summer.
"DiCaprio is a great man, isn't he? He is giving money to burn the Amazon forests," Bolsonaro told a group of supporters in the capital Brasilia.
It is noteworthy that the Foundation DiCaprio "Earth Allianz" on environmental protection, pledged to donate $ 5 million to protect the Amazon forests after the fires in July and August.
