Actor Leonardo DiCaprio gave a $3 million grant to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) through his foundation to help save tigers in Nepal -- an endangered population that is threatened by habitat destruction and illegal poaching.

According to the WWF, the money will be used to double the number of tigers in Nepal by 2022 - the next Chinese year of the tiger.
