Hello! Magazine reports:

Veteran actor Harrison Ford has been honoured at a gala evening held by the Natural Resources Defence Council in New York. Sigourney Weaver and Bobby Kennedy Junior also attended the event, which paid tribute to Harrison's long-running efforts to protect the environment.

The actor has taken part in many of the organisation's conservation projects including, most recently, their campaign to stop a controversial dam being built in Belize.

Harrison worked in the impoverished Central American country for several months when filming The Mosquito Coast and says he developed a love for its exotic wildlife. Environmentalists say the Canadian-funded dam project is an environmental timebomb, however, and threatens to wipe out several endangered species.
