Moviegoers Help The Chimps!

Yet again, enthusiastic animal-loving conservationists showed up in high volumes for the first two weeks of Disney's Chimpanzee realize back in April.  Now that all the ticket sales have been counted, Disney and the Jane Goodall Institute have confirmed that close to 130,000 acres of prime habitat have been secured for the chimpanzees in Tchimpounga Nature Reserve in the Congo!!  


DisneyNature made the donation to JGI through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund and not only will the donation secure space for the critically endangered chimpanzees but it will also go towards educating over 60,000 children in the Congo in regards to primate importance and then extended to their parents and neighbours ultimately reaching half of the Congo's population!!! WOWOWOW

The program will also provide food and medicine for nearly all the chimp orphans at Tchimpounga Sanctuary for the next year!  This is just such incredible news not only for the Jane Goodall Institute and Chimpanzees but also for wildlife around the world.  

We have come to a critical point in our planets history and with the world economies collapsing one by one, it is great to see an amazing organization such as Disney step up and give back to the planet and the wildlife that is suffering because of humans. 


So far no word on next years DisneyNature film but I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will have something to do with turtles!!!  Goodness knows they need our help too!!!


DON'T FORGET TO PICK UP YOUR VERY OWN COPY OF "CHIMPANZEE" WHEN IT HITS STORES ON AUGUST 21st!! DISNEYNATURE WILL MAKE A DONATION TO THE JANE GOODALL INSTITUTE ON THAT DAY!
