Disney Announces Hand In Hand To Change Projects Around The World

Disney announced the latest vote on the "Disney Friends for Change" website on 26, on the day of.

"Disney is working hand in hand to change" to launch a global initiative for children around the world, calling on them to act positively to change the local community environment, and this round of voting is part of the campaign.

Children who sign up for the event promise to reduce environmental impact through changes in daily life.

At the same time, they helped distribute Disney's $1 million fund to finance environmental protection projects all over the world.

Disney's voting will continue for a whole year.

Children have the opportunity to vote for five different projects every quarter.

Each project is managed by excellent non-profit environmental organizations.

These projects will revolve around the four major areas of concern of Disney, including climate change, habitat, waste and water resources.

Since the launch of the project in May 2009, "Disney has joined hands" has won nearly 2 million 500 thousand votes and invested nearly $2 million in 41 countries in 21 countries.

The amount of bonus depends on the number of votes received by each item.

The vote was the third round and the first ballot was extended to the world.

The results are as follows:

The first prize is $100 thousand.

The International Bird alliance saves the spoonbill Snipe in the Chinese wetland habitat: the project is dedicated to protecting spoonbills, a rare and endangered migratory wading bird.

The project has successfully attracted the attention of local governments and communities regarding the importance of the species and the importance of the wetland for the survival of the species.

This is the third project in China that Disney has joined hands to change, with a total capital of US $175 thousand.

The other two funded projects in China include environmental protection projects sponsored by the Nature Conservancy and the "root and bud" project supervised by the Jane Goodall Association.

Second, with a bonus of $50 thousand:

The Nature Conservation Association protects Canada's great bear forest: the project will provide local wildlife monitoring training for local students. It will do its best to protect the rainforests, Grizzlies and wolves.

It is the first funding project for Disney to join hands in Canada.

Third, US $50 thousand:

Fauna Flora International (FFI), Iberian lynx habitat conservation: Iberian lynx, once considered a ubiquitous animal, has now become the most valuable species of all feline species.

Now there are fewer than 100 Iberian lynx living in the wilderness.

The reason why this species is endangered is the loss of its habitat in Spain and Portugal, and the continuous decrease in the number of main food sources of the rabbit Iberian lynx.

The protection of wild animals and plants has led to the purchase of land to increase the number of rabbits.

The project will also work with local communities and school children to enhance people's attention to Iberian lynx.

Since the launch of the project, the international protection of wild animals and plants has received $150 thousand from Disney.

Fourth, US $25 thousand:

Green living fund, symbiotic Economy: Cameroon chimpanzee project: the green living fund will work with Cameroon's wild ape refuge center to establish a community plant and aquatic animal system (an eco-friendly tool for fish farming and vegetable cultivation).

The purpose is to educate local residents about the severe problem of wild hunting and the survival of wild gorillas and monkeys.

The system produces fish and vegetables with high quality protein and becomes one of the sources of income for local residents.

It is the second green living fund project that Disney has joined hands to change.

Fifth, US $25 thousand:

The international ecological protection organization rebuilds the wetland of the South marcram orchid: the project will work with South Africa and Namibia local communities to achieve the purpose of protecting water resources by repairing damaged pumps and reconstructing natural ecosystems.

Local volunteers will be trained to remove diffused species, such as poplar, which will depleted large amounts of groundwater and plant native vegetation.

The award of this award led the International Eco protection organization to receive more than 50 thousand US dollars of Disney's support.

Since its launch in May 2009, "Disney has changed hands" has successfully encouraged about 2500000 children to take more than 3 million actions to improve the ecological environment of the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe.

The children promised to save more than 1 billion 500 million gallons of water, recover 8 million pounds of waste and cut 52 million pounds of carbon emissions.
