Yes, a bound follows from the following theorem. For a graph $G$, let $\nu(G)$ be the maximum number of edge-disjoint cycles, and let $\tau(G)$ be the minimum size of a set of edges $X$ such that $G-X$ has no cycles.
Theorem. There exists a function $f(k)=O(k \log k)$ such that for every graph $G$, $\tau(G) \leq f(\mu(G))$.
This is actually an exercise in Diestel's graph theory textbook. Since $\tau(G)=d$ (take the complement of a spanning tree), we get $\nu(G) \geq f^{-1}(d)$. As noted by Gjergji Zaimi in a comment to the other answer, this bound is best possible due to a classic example of Erdős and Pósa. Indeed there is huge body of related work, which are all called "Erdős-Pósa theorems." See this survey paper of Raymond and Thilikos or this webpage for more information.
