Scientists at Disney’s Animal Kingdom are working locally and globally to learn more about animals and their habitats. The Animal Kingdom’s Dr. Jill Mellen and several of her colleagues will share stories about Disney’s work – from restoring reefs in The Bahamas and building a gorilla orphanage in the African Congo to figuring out the recipe for success in propagating one of the most endangered birds on Earth, the Micronesian kingfisher.
