Shanghai Disney Resort’s design and construction rest on a foundation of sustainability and conservation. A prime example is Wishing Star Park, a 500,000-square-meter urban wetland located inside Shanghai Disney Resort. In April 2026, Shanghai Disney Resort and Disney Conservation jointly released Creating an Urban Wetland Ecosystem: A Case Study of Shanghai Disney Resort Wishing Star Park. Building on a decade of monthly bird surveys and learnings from the urban biodiversity development at Wishing Star Park, the Report provides a case study of how an urban wetland project can be designed and managed to enrich the lives of both wildlife and people.

Shanghai Disney Resort has collaborated with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) China to create a nature book that celebrates the resort’s own, Wishing Star Park. This self-guided nature-walk book aims to help children, teens and their families explore and learn about the park’s rich natural resources and diverse habitats, as well as develop lifelong conservation values.

Shanghai Disney Resort has been partnering with Shanghai Roots and Shoots, a local non-profit organization, with an “Adopt-A-Garden” organic farming program at local schools since 2012. Through the organic farming program, local school students not only can get hands-on experience planting vegetables in the schools’ very own gardens, but also can learn about environment protection initiatives, the important of nature and food safety.

Every April, Shanghai Disney Resort celebrates Earth Month with Guests and Cast Members to promote greater awareness of our nature and the important of environment in our community. A series of Earth Month activities such as nature walks, planting activities, and Environmentality™ interactive games are launched to encourage Guests and Cast Members to connect with nature and be part of the green efforts.

The Disney Conservation Fund, founded in 1955, is a key pillar in Disney’s efforts to protect the planet and help children develop lifelong conservation values. The fund supports the study of wildlife; the protection of habitats; the development of community conservation and education programs in critical ecosystems; and experiences that connect kids to nature across the globe.

At Shanghai Disney Resort, Disney Conservation Fund is committed to supporting conservation work in China to protect nature for future generations and help children develop lifelong conservation values.

Inquiries about the 2017 Disney Conservation Fund Program will be considered beginning in October 2016.
