Seeking to help fight climate change, the Walt Disney Co. says it will spend $7 million in partnership with three conservation groups to protect tens of thousands of acres of forest lands in the Congo basin, the Amazon basin and in two regions of the United States.
The projects announced 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 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.
