Prince Harry has managed to convince Leonardo DiCaprio to follow him in his fight for the preservation of the Okavango Delta in southern Africa.

The member of the British royal family calls for an immediate end to oil drilling in this region, which straddles Angola, Botswana and Namibia, whose many rivers serve as a source of water for nearly a million people as well as to wildlife, as

.

However, oil exploitation has been a threat since Reconnaissance Energy Africa, a Canadian company, obtained a drilling license over an area of ​​21,000 square kilometers.

Let nature take its course

“We believe this will constitute a plunder of the ecosystem for potential profits.

It is better to leave some things fallow in life to let them accomplish their purpose as a natural benefit.

Here's an example, ”Prince Harry and activist and poet Reinhold Mangundu said in an open letter published by The

Washington Post

 a few days ago.

For his part, Leonardo DiCaprio posted a video on Instagram, urging his fans to sign this open letter.

Other personalities have added their voice to this cause, such as Forest Whitaker or Djimon Hounson who shared the
