Lollapalooza Teams with Leonardo DiCaprio’s Re:wild Environmental Organization For Global Greening Initiative
The partnership will kick off on this weekend at Lollapalooza India in Mumbai.
“In a moment when we need the world to come together to protect and restore nature as the most effective solution to the related climate and biodiversity crises, there are fewer greater convening forces than music,” said Wes Sechrest, Re:wild chief scientist/CEO in a statement. In addition to amplifying Re:wild’s messages on its social feeds, Lolla festivals will carve out spaces on their grounds for partners to speak directly to attendees, as well as supporting the organization’s projects with an as-yet-unspecified financial commitment. Among the efforts undertaken by Re:wild over the past three decades are protecting and restoring mangroves, tropical forests, oceans and other ecosystems, as well as helping indigenous peoples attain rights to their lands and reintroducing endangered species.
