Gisele Bündchen is demonstrating her love for animals once again. 

In a new Instagram posted Wednesday morning, the supermodel announced the launch of a new United Nations Environment Programme campaign titled "Wild for Life."

"It saddens me that in the 21st century, with all our knowledge and power, we are hearing more and more stories of possible extinctions due to people´s choice.We are responsible for our choices and the only ones capable of changing our future," Gisele said in a statement. "It is clear to me that a radical global shift needs to occur and it will take everyone accepting the challenge to support the UNEP Wild for Life campaign."

In her caption, she added, "Much of the world's wildlife is facing extinction. To overcome this, we need a radical change in people's attitude all over the world. Today I'm joining the fight to save these endangered species everywhere. Please join me, find your kindred species and help me to end the criminal trade of poaching that is pushing species to the brink of extinction."

The animal-friendly campaign may just be the perfect fit for Tom Brady's leading lady. After all, the A-list couple recently adopted a precious black-and-white pup from Wags and Walks, a dog rescue in Los Angeles.

"Thank you @wagsandwalks for all you do and for letting us rescue this little angel," Gisele captioned online. "The kids are over the moon with our new family member. Fluffy is pure joy!"

In regards to the United Nations, this isn't the first cause Gisele has taken an interest in. 

Previously, the model worked on the "Think. Eat. Save" campaign that helped educate consumers on how they can reduce their foodprint.

"You know that 40 percent of the food in the United States gets thrown away because it doesn't look a certain way," she shared on the Today show. "It's crazy, just because the apple is not the right size or the carrot is not straight enough it just doesn't get accepted. So, amazing delicious food gets thrown away because it doesn't look a certain way."

Gisele has also helped the United Nations in its mission to raise awareness and inspire action to protect the environment. The Goodwill Ambassador brought awareness to some of the biggest threats facing the planet, climate change and environment.
