Disney Channel will commemorate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and the 25th anniversary of the Disney Conservation Fund with previously recorded interstitials led by cast members at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park beginning Monday, April 20.

The channel also will feature a full day of Earth Day programming on Wednesday, April 22, with a National Geographic special titled Born Wild: The Next Generation, the Disneynature films Monkey Kingdom and Penguins, and environmentally-themed episodes of series Bunk’d, Big City Greens, Coop and Cami Ask the World, Raven’s Home and Sydney to the Max.
