They may be spineless, but invertebrates are the backbone of a healthy ecosystem.
Invertebrates aren’t just insects—they’re also shrimp, horseshoe crabs, sea stars, corals, clams and more. These tough creatures perform vital jobs that help keep humans alive: pollinating plants, controlling pest populations, keeping soil healthy and forming an integral link in food webs by land and sea.
Whether in our pollinator gardens or mini ecosystems, inverts enjoy being part of the Disney family.
Here’s where to find them at Walt Disney World Resort:
The Walt Disney Company is committed to saving wildlife and protecting the magic of nature together as a global community.
Since 1995, the Disney Conservation Fund* has helped protect butterflies across the United States through collaboration with nonprofit organizations leading efforts to restore habitats, breed and reintroduce imperiled butterfly species into the wild. Additionally, Disney’s animal care experts and conservationists have helped marine invertebrates globally, including taking action to study and restore coral reefs.
