Take a stroll through Disney’s Animal Kingdom’s Maharajah Jungle Trek. This area was instituted to preserve the wildlife inside by the past Maharajah. The weathered walls within the area tell stories of past rulers, but also offers a tale with a moral very rooted in the creation of Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
In this story, animals and plants strive until humans begin appearing on Earth. As the human race gains strength, they begin taking natural resources and land from the native animals. The gods try to punish the humans for their disregard for the balance of nature. After a lesson learned, the human plants a new tree to replace the one that he once cut down. In the final carved image, both animal and human kneel before the tree in respect.
