Randeep Hooda is not only a remarkable actor, but he is often seen promoting wildlife conservation. He has quite a few times taken to Twitter to talk about issues that are close to his heart, be it congratulating the Maharashtra CM on his stand on human dam or to question the accountability of animals that are killed due to industrial activity near forests. Hence, it comes in as no surprise that the actor has been named as the ambassador for Migratory Species by the UN Environment Programme.
The news was shared by Parveen Kaswan, who is from India’s elite Indian Forest Services. He took to Twitter to share that India is hosting COP of Convention on Migratory Species in Gujarat for the very first time and in the same tweet, he broke the news of Hooda’s appointment. As an ambassador, Hooda will be part of the COP to CMS in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat.
