The Rush Hour actor will receive an award from WildAid for working to preserve China's wild animal population.
WildAid is an internationally recognised advocacy group that seeks to end illegal wildlife trade around the world.
Chan will be given the award during WildAids's annual gala in San Francisco in May.
The actor has consistently called for an end to animal cruelty as part of his role as a UN Goodwill Ambassador and has also supported the Save China's Tigers charity.
Chan most recently starred with Jaden Smith in 2010's blockbuster remake The Karate Kid.
