Leonardo DiCaprio Supports Panamanians' Protests Against First Quantum's Copper Mine Operation

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio has shown support for Panamanians protesting against First Quantum's mining operation in Panama. DiCaprio shared a video produced by NGO Re:Wild, praising the people of Panama for defending nature and urging the country's Supreme Court to declare the mining project unconstitutional. The actor called attention to the destructive impact the project would have on the surrounding ecosystems, species, and local communities. DiCaprio asked his followers to sign a petition to halt the mining project. The Supreme Court is set to issue a final ruling on the project's constitutionality, following protests and blockades by unions and Indigenous groups.
