The Disney Conservation Fund continued its 30-year commitment to conservation by awarding $1 million to the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation during the Florida Corridor Connect Summit at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, to help protect and share the magic of nature across the state.
“Nature is essential to our health and happiness, and here in Florida, we are tremendously fortunate to have such a rich diversity of awe-inspiring landscapes to enjoy,” said Yalmaz Siddiqui, vice president, Environmental Sustainability at The Walt Disney Company. “That’s why we are excited to grow our collaboration with the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation, to carry forward a shared commitment to preserving our natural heritage and sharing the magic of wildlife and wild places for generations to come.”
This sprawling interconnected network of natural habitats stretches across nearly 18 million acres of Florida, offering a lifeline for wildlife and endangered species like the Florida panther, black bear, and manatee. And Walt Disney World plays a key role, acting as a crossroads that connects east and west coast animal migration patterns and offering a safe space for species to move and thrive.
