An actor who has given millions to support animals is now being recognized on a global stage.
Ricky Gervais has been awarded the Jane Goodall Award for his ongoing efforts to stand up for animals and call out cruelty worldwide.
Using his platform, he’s brought attention to issues like animal testing, fur farming, and trophy hunting—while also supporting charities and funding real change.
Inspired by Jane Goodall’s legacy, the award honors those deeply committed to protecting animals and the planet.
Supporters say this moment shows the impact of using influence for good—and how one voice can help spark global awareness.
Because real advocacy isn’t just words—it’s action.
