Disney invests in forest protection
Updated on 04 November 2009
Disney says it will spend seven million US dollars (£4.3 million) in partnership with three conservation groups to protect tens of thousands of acres of forest in the Congo basin, the Amazon basin and two regions of the US.
The projects announced on Tuesday are designed to work with local communities to either plant trees or set aside forest lands for protection against logging.
In partnership with Conservation International, Disney is providing 4 million dollars (£2.4 million) for forest protection projects at two reserves in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and for a forest program in the Amazon basin area of Peru.
