St. Louis Post-Dispatch
U.S. Rep. Russ Carnahan’s push to preserve global habitats has caught the attention of Hollywood.
The St. Louis Democrat met this week with actor Don Cheadle, who is supporting a Carnahan bill aimed at preserving natural resources and protecting wildlife around the world.
Cheadle has grown as a global activist since appearing in “Hotel Rwanda,” the 2004 film set against the backdrop of genocide in Africa.

Congressman Jeff Fortenberry today joined world-renowned conservationist Jane Goodall and Academy Award-nominated actor Don Cheadle in unveiling the Global Conservation Act. Jane Goodall is a frequent visitor to Nebraska, and Don Cheadle grew up in Lincoln. Fortenberry recently introduced the measure with Congressman Russ Carnahan (MO).
