A few weeks ago it was Drew Barrymore, now former 'Back Street Boy' Nick Carter has become a UN Special Ambassador.
"People like Bono, Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman have inspired me to put my celebrity to good use. I have the advantage of reaching multiple generations to make a difference."
He added: "I am really excited, but also a little nervous about this much responsibility - it is an actual job. There are responsibilities and commitments that I must make to be the voice of dolphins, whales and conservation issues, and the expectations are quite large.
"Everyone loves dolphins. Yet, we are still driving them to extinction."
Carter, whose work will include raising awareness about dolphins will be working on the Year of the Dolphin campaign, which educates people about the threats facing dolphins in the wild.
