He’s just amazing! This man is perfect inside out!
wow he is sooo sexy and he cares about animals he is so dreamy!!❤
Also save the Diamond Back turtle! Every year they have to migrate to the beach to lay their eggs and on their way there, they have to cross JFK airport tarmac. They actually delayed planes just so these turtles can cross the tarmac and make their way to the beach, it was so cute!

This man is amazing! I wish more celebrities cared about the planet
@Lo:
Some people have more affinity for animals and I say go for it. The Leatherback in one form or another has existed for over 110 million years. And in the last 30 or so years, man has decimated its populations.
Leatherbacks eat jellyfish. Lots of jellyfish. Without leatherbacks, the jelly fish populations explode. And then there are more around to sting humans.
Life is interconnected and scientists are only now, after humans have managed to drive so many species to extinctions, starting to learn all the ramifications of losing a species.
So Ian YOU GO HONEY!!! I’m rooting for you!

@ lili – Most people who are smart (like Ian) where a suit when they testify before Congress. Washington, DC is a very conservative town. If you want to be taken seriously, you “dress the part.” Good for you Ian. Thanks for your commitment to protecting the planet.
Good for him! I live animal;s!
I’m in college and when I have to make an oral presentation, most teachers would tell me NOT to read. And he’s clearly reading here. Actually he does what I do (and what many others do too I guess), he reads but looks at the audience trying to show that he’s not reading. HA. Good. Unfortunately it doesn’t really work with professors. And in the end of my presentation, they always point it out. (Thank God, if you were still good, you get a good grade nonetheless :p). That would be my one and only criticism I’d make here. Overall, it was good. The cause is great. Yes, we have to care for humans, but animals are more than important too. All our lives are interconnected. It’s the big circle of life, you haven’t seen the Lion King did you?!? Lol ;D
wouldve been better if he cut his hair.
@Lo: being concerned about animals is being concerned about humans.
humans cannot survive if they do not protect the animals and plants around them because we thrive off of them as resources. yes, this includes random turtles because when you eff up one part of the food chain it all comes crashing down. we all live in the same world with other living organisms. that’s how it goes.
@Yo-Landi: your professors are weird as hell. i dunno why they’d say that to you. it’s perfectly fine to read off a page and look up to your audience during. that’s standard, everyone does it e.g. politicians who constantly make speeches read off a page or a teleprompter.
@Lo: you could even argue that animals need more support than humans. a shark cant hire a lawyer or advocate for themselves.
