 The Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund (DWCF) was established in 1995 as a global awards program for the study and protection of the world's wildlife and ecosystems. It provides annual awards to US nonprofit conservation organizations working alongside their peers in other countries. Many of the recipient organizations concentrate their activities on "biological hotspots" -- areas rich in plant and animal life at risk of imminent destruction. Since its inception, the fund has contributed more than $10 million, distributed among 540 projects in more than 68 countries. Each project is evaluated on specific criteria, including scientific methodologies, magnitude of need, involvement of partner organizations, ability to impact an area in the near-term, and elements of public education and community involvement. Through awards from its Fund, Disney helps ensure the survival of wildlife and wild places in all their beauty and diversity. Operation Migration is a grateful recipient of funding through the DWCF; a total of over $100,000 since the Whooping crane project’s inception. |

North Sails very generously created wing covers for the fleet of ultralight aircraft used to guide Whooping cranes from Wisconsin to Florida each Autumn. Thanks to their efforts we no longer have to wait on very cold migration mornings for the sun to melt any frost that used to form on the large wings. Thank you North Sails! |
