Ian Somerhalder testifies before Congress for wildlife conversation

Ian Somerhalder
The dashing Ian Somerhalder just became more swoon-worthy. The 32-year old Vampire Diaries actor - a.k.a. vampire Damon - testified for wildlife conversation before the American Congress on Thursday. Ian is head of the Ian Somerhalder Foundation, that "focuses its work around three themes: habitat conservation, species protection and clean energy initiatives," in order for people to positively impact the planet and all its inhabitants. Ian has said that, "Wildlife and environmental conservation has always been not just a passion, but a priority of mine," he said.

Ian showed statistics about endangered tigers, rhinos, elephants, marine turtles and apes, in order to get the Congress to consider H.R. 50, a multinational special conversation funds reathorisation act. "Species conversation is beyond a doubt an issue that truly matters to the American public," he said. "We're lucky in this case, because many of our most beloved wildlife species are clinging to survival by a thread."

How wonderful that Ian is such a dedicated man!
