ELLEN DEGENERES
Ellen DeGeneres is an American host, actress, writer, and producer who became internationally known for her talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which started airing on NBC in 2003. Aside from raking millions of dollars and improving her credit score, Ellen has been committed to her advocacy – wildlife preservation. On the 60th birthday of the Finding Dory star, her wife presented her an amazing gift – building homes for the critically endangered mountain gorillas in Rwanda.
It will be a permanent shelter specially made for the scientists who have been working hard to preserve this diminishing animal, which only has 880 left on the planet, according to GorillaFund.org. In 2017, when former President Trump ended the ban of importation of elephant heads that were poached in Zambia and Zimbabwe, the TV show host launched a campaign to raise funds for the conservation of the gentle giants. She even posted an artwork on Twitter with the hashtag BeKindToElephants.
