Edward Norton isn’t foolin’ around when it comes to protecting the world’s biodiversity. In fact, the actor/UN goodwill ambassador for biodiversity is down right serious about the issue.

In an article for the Guardian, Norton explains the importance of preserving biodiversity and cultivating healthy ecosystems. What’s more, he gives support for the Nagoya Biodiversity Summit, where 193 parties will adopt a new biodiversity strategic plan for the future.

Norton says, “Meaningful success in this effort will require the full commitment of all nations, and here, the US falls sadly short of the mark. The US is, inexcusably, one of only three countries that have not ratified full acceptance of the convention.”

While Norton points out that the President Obama has “forcefully expressed his commitment to addressing the world’s environmental crisis,” the actor urges the president to aggressively pursue the process of US ratification.
