Previously, it was reported that the Oscar winner actor Leonardo DiCaprio will be banned in Indonesia for his negative comments about the harmful effects of the palm oil industry in the country's ecosystem destroying its flora and fauna. The state's environment and forestry minister said that the actor will not be banned; he just doesn't have enough information on the government's initiatives to protect the forests and the wildlife.
His move to raise the awareness about the endangered animals and the destruction of the rainforests awarded him with a warning from some of the Indonesian government officials. He had made a one-day visit to Mount Leuser National Park and uploaded photos to his social media account, as reported by abc News.
The report was denied by Minister Siti Nurbaya who appreciated his concern and looks forward to working with him in the future. She is glad the actor made the world aware of the difficult condition of Sumatran elephants, tigers, rhinos and orangutans, reports The Guardian.
