Celebrities back rainforest protection scheme

A number of high-profile celebrities are giving their support to the upcoming climate change conference in Denmark next month, it has been reported.

According to the Telegraph, famous faces such as Leonardo di Caprio, Cate Blanchett, Sting, Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke and Disney Channel star Miley Cryus are all backing the conference.

The event will be attended by world leaders hoping to come up with a global climate change strategy to replace the existing Kyoto agreement.

The newspaper reported that in her home country of Australia, Cate Blanchett is known for her interest in eco issues and is a member of a lobby group.

Earlier this year, she travelled to Copenhagen to attend the World Business Summit on climate change.

Speaking at the time, Blanchett said: "Political failure at Copenhagen in December is quite simply unacceptable and this powerful room must play a major role in preventing this failure", according to the source.
