Join host Jeff Corwin on "Wildlife Nation" as he explores North American conservation success stories. He travels to Washington to help relocate a beaver family, emphasizing their vital environmental contributions and the importance of family. Corwin then ventures to Alaska to study the humble bumble bee, a small but critical species.

Finally, Jeff explores the mysterious world of bats in Northern California's forests, learning how conservationists protect their habitat and unlock the secrets of sonar. Partnering with Defenders of Wildlife, Corwin celebrates North America's incredible creatures and the dedicated individuals working to safeguard them.

Join host Jeff Corwin in his home state of Massachusetts, partnering with Dr. Lindsay Rosa of Defenders of Wildlife at the New England Wildlife Center. They highlight the center's vital work rehabilitating sick, injured, and orphaned animals, including an owl ready for release. The episode addresses the critical issue of lead poisoning, which affects millions of birds annually from sources like fishing sinkers and shotgun shells. Viewers witness the successful treatment and release of a swan, showcasing effective conservation efforts and viable alternatives to lead.

Corwin and Rosa emphasize mindful coexistence with wildlife, urging awareness of human impact on shared habitats. "You can't protect what you do not love," Corwin states. For more information on the featured wildlife, visit Defenders of Wildlife.

Jeff Corwin joins Defenders of Wildlife in Boston to aid peregrine falcon recovery. At Deer Island's massive wastewater treatment plant, a nesting box on a 130-foot filtration tank provides a home

Jeff Corwin joins Defenders of Wildlife in Boston to aid peregrine falcon recovery. At Deer Island's massive wastewater treatment plant, a nesting box on a 130-foot filtration tank provides a home for these once-endangered birds, the fastest on Earth. This collaboration with the Massachusetts Department of Fisheries and Wildlife showcases how ingenuity allows wildlife to thrive in urban settings.

Corwin, alongside Dr. Jacob Malcolm and biologist Dave Paulson, bands falcon chicks to track the species' remarkable comeback. Despite protective parents, the team successfully bands the young, contributing to a conservation success story. Massachusetts now boasts 50 known peregrine falcon pairs, many adapting to developed landscapes. Learn more at [Defenders of Wildlife](https://www.defenders.org/wildlifenation).

Join host Jeff Corwin as he connects with some of the most threatened aquatic animals, including Florida's gentle manatees, the endangered Kemp's Ridley sea turtle, and coral reefs. He highlights critical threats to manatees, such as habitat loss, cold snaps, and harmful algae blooms, which have led to record mortalities. Conservationists are racing to save these iconic creatures.

Efforts include restoring warm water habitats, advocating for dam removal to open vital waterways like the Ocklawaha River, and coordinating rescue and rehabilitation partnerships, exemplified by SeaWorld's work with rescued manatees like Avana. Protecting these watery worlds is essential for the planet's health.

Join host Jeff Corwin to celebrate the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and its profound impact on wildlife. The bald eagle, once critically endangered, now thrives as a powerful symbol of conservation success, thanks to the ESA. This landmark 1973 bipartisan legislation protects vulnerable species and their ecosystems.

Corwin visits Florida's Boca Raton beaches, a vital nesting site for sea turtles. Conservationists Elizabeth Fleming and David Anderson demonstrate how habitat protection is crucial for species like loggerheads. Excavating a nest reveals successful hatchlings, underscoring that safeguarding their environment allows these keystone species to survive. Six of the world's seven sea turtle species nest in America, all protected by the ESA. Learn more at defenders.org/wildlifenation.

Join host Jeff Corwin in Florida to explore the remarkable conservation success of the American crocodile. Once near extinction with only 100 adults, their population now exceeds 2,000 in Southern Florida, thanks to the Endangered Species Act and dedicated efforts. A surprising sanctuary for these reptiles is the Turkey Point nuclear power plant.

The plant's 6,000-acre site, particularly its 10-square-mile network of cooling canals, provides ideal, secure nesting habitat. Wildlife biologists from Florida Power & Light and Defenders of Wildlife monitor and tag hatchlings before releasing them, ensuring the species' continued recovery. Protecting these apex predators is crucial for the entire Florida ecosystem. Learn more at defenders.org/wildlifenation.

Join Jeff Corwin as he explores climate change impacts, from California's drought-stricken Sierra Nevada and the Caldor Fire's aftermath, where he meets firefighters, to Washington State. There, he highlights conservation efforts for the resourceful American beaver and the endangered Pygmy rabbit.

In Washington, Corwin joins the Tulalip Beaver Project, which humanely relocates beavers from conflict areas. Beavers are vital ecosystem engineers, building dams that increase water storage, filter pollutants, promote biodiversity, and create crucial salmon habitat. Nearly hunted to extinction, these resilient animals are now recovering, with the Tulalip Tribal Community leading successful wildlife management and research efforts.

Join host Jeff Corwin on a conservation adventure, beginning in Big Sur, California, to aid the California condor's recovery. At the Ventana Wildlife Society sanctuary, Corwin helps prepare juvenile condors for release. Once critically endangered with only 22 individuals in 1982, the population has rebounded to approximately 500 worldwide, with 300 now free-flying. This remarkable success, involving captive breeding and tagging, demonstrates dedicated conservation.

Corwin learns about the challenges of protecting North America's largest flying bird, which has a slow reproductive rate. Later, he travels to Massachusetts to assist the Department of Fish and Wildlife in saving the unique saltmarsh sparrow, a species endemic to East Coast habitats.

Join host Jeff Corwin in Central Florida as he helps rescue gopher tortoises threatened by new real estate development. These iconic reptiles are vital "ecosystem engineers," digging extensive burrows that provide critical habitat for over 360 other species. However, Florida's rapid growth, with 1,000 new residents daily, is destroying their specific sandy habitats.

Historically, some older permits even allowed developers to bury tortoises alive. Corwin, alongside Defenders and Saving Florida's Gopher Tortoises, intervenes at a development site. Using specialized cameras and careful excavation with heavy machinery, they work to safely relocate these essential creatures before their homes are paved over.

Jeff Corwin explores the Great Plains' interconnected species. He aids bison re-establishment with Native American tribes and conserves black-footed ferrets, once thought extinct. Ferrets critically depend on prairie dogs, a keystone species decimated by habitat loss and Sylvatic plague, nearly causing their extinction. The species was famously rediscovered by a dog named Shep.

Conservation efforts involve canine teams, like Melissa Steen and Tule, locating ferrets in prairie dog burrows. Spotlight teams, including Chamois Andersen, then find and trap ferrets at night. Biologists like Jessica Alexander collect vital data and administer life-saving vaccines against Sylvatic plague, ensuring this fragile population's survival.
