National Geographic and Disney are asking viewers to “step into wonder” with their new Earth Month films and specials. Today, Disney+ announced multiple new goodies for animal lovers. People watching at home appreciate the care and detail that National Geographic brings to all of these projects. The Disney Conservation Fund is also celebrating 30 years of operation.

They’ve provided $141 million in support of various conservation projects around the world. A new special about bees (Secrets of the Bees) is airing now on Disney+. 

“For 138 years, National Geographic has been guided by a spirit of exploration that opens hearts as much as it expands minds,” said Courteney Monroe, president, National Geographic. “With ‘Step Into Wonder,’ we’re putting that spirit at the center of Disney’s Earth Month, creating a platform for stories that spark a love for our planet and inspire families to step outside and celebrate the everyday wonders of our world.”
