In April 2006 Disney Wildlife Conservation Fund gave five $100,000 donations to a variety of conservation causes. The five beneficiaries were Conservation Matters, Save the Elephants, Roots 'N Shoots, Andean Cat Alliance/Wildlife Conservation Network and The Howard Gilman Foundation's Greenbelt Movement.
Disney designers crafted a climate-controlled rock for Animal Kingdom - that is heated in winter & cooled in the summer. It is used to entice the lions to sit in an area of their enclosure which is easily viewable by safari guests.
Imagineer Bill Evans (a third-generation horticulturist) was first called in 1952 to landscape the grounds of Walt Disney's Holmby Hills home. Within a year, Evans helped transform 80 acres of Anaheim orange groves into lush theme park attractions ... including the Jungle Cruise.
