Leonardo DiCaprio and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) have come together to help save elephants!

In a crazy huge global effort, 1.4 MILLION people have come together and singed a petition calling for the end of the ivory trade in Thailand.

What's incredible is that the Thai government listened!!

Prince William is not a man to be messed with!

He's a prince after all.

So when he calls for action on the ivory trade, we best take him seriously.

And even though the Prince is talking about a VERY serious matter, we can't help but notice how cute he looks!

But that's besides the point.

Ch-ch-check out the video of the prince (above) !!!

Leonardo DiCaprio is a HUGE animal lover.

He's a total eco warrior!

We just know if he wasn't off making our favorite movies, he'd be in Africa, riding rhinos, chasing off poachers.

But because he can't hang out in Africa all the time, he helped launch the World Wildlife Fund's new campaign "Hands Off My Parts."

Sad…ivory trading has been illegal since 1989, but nothing is stopping it!!

In fact…it's growing…maybe even booming business.

Studies have shown that as the demand for ivory increases in China and more and more organized crime syndicate join the trade, the ivory industry will continue to skyrocket.

This is just AWFUL!

At the Tsavo National Park in Kenya, the Wildlife Service said they believe a gang of 10 poachers killed a whole family of elephants!

That is so sad!

They are currently pursuing the poachers who are believed to have killed 11 elephants.

The gunfire attack killed the whole family, then the poachers chopped off
