Harrison Ford: Man, Movie Star, Hero

Environmental Activist

Over time, Harrison has become a famous advocate of conservation and environmental activism. He is on the Board of Directors for Conservation International. Harrison even has two species named after him: a Central American ant, Peidole Harrisonfordi, and spider Calponia Harrisonfordi. Harrison has been quoted as saying he found “in nature a kind of God,” and has passionately devoted himself to protecting the environment, including traveling to Indonesia to film a series on climate change called Years of Living Dangerously for Showtime. The film also focuses on the deforestation of Indonesia for paper and palm oil plantations and mining.
