Disney And Goodall Make A Difference

May 15, 2012

(WILDLIFE) Millions of people went to see baby Oscar within the first two weeks of Disneynature’s new IMAX film, Chimpanzee. The beautiful documentary follows the adorable Oscar and his chimpanzee family. For each ticket sold during the first couple weeks, Disney made a donation to the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) to help protect chimpanzees and their disappearing habitat. Thanks to Disney’s Worldwide Conservation Fund and moviegoers like you, the donations will protect 129,236 acres of wild chimpanzee habitat, educate children, and provide a year’s supply of food and medicine for orphaned chimps at JGI’s Tchimpounga chimpanzee sanctuary. — Global Animal

 Donations will help to protect chimps habitats, educate children on conservation as well as provide care for orphaned chimps.
