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.

Human objects in space are creating dangerous clutter. MIT Assistant Professor Danielle Wood advocates for sustainable space technology, stressing the need to respect both people and the environment in future missions. This approach is crucial for managing the "industrial waste" accumulating beyond Earth.

One promising solution involves a wax-based fuel for satellites, made from beeswax and candle wax. This less toxic and more affordable alternative would help bring objects closer to Earth for safe deorbiting and destruction, offering a sustainable way to address space debris.

Beavers offer ancient, nature-based solutions to climate disruption, addressing challenges like droughts, floods, soil erosion, and biodiversity loss. This episode of Bioneers' "Nature's Genius" podcast explores how these "rodent relatives" can heal nature by working with it.

Kate Lundquist and Brock Dolman of the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center share their journey as "Beaver Believers." They are part of a passionate global movement to restore beavers, demonstrating how these animals help balance human civilization with living systems.

Join host Jeff Corwin on an adventure across the Great Plains, exploring the vital connection between species. He assists Native American tribes in re-establishing bison herds, a keystone species that once shaped the ecosystem. Historically, bison were nearly wiped out by western expansion, devastating both the plains and tribal cultures that depended on them.

The loss of bison had ripple effects, impacting predators, scavengers, and species like black-footed ferrets. Conservationists, led by the Intertribal Buffalo Council, are working to restore at least ten large herds. This effort not only revitalizes the environment but also helps Native American communities reconnect with their cultural heritage, ensuring the survival of the Great Plains ecosystem.

Join host Jeff Corwin in Central Florida as he helps rescue threatened gopher tortoises from new real estate developments. Florida's rapid growth, with 1,000 new residents daily, leads to habitat destruction. Alarmingly, older permits still allow developers to bury tortoises alive, along with the over 360 other species that rely on their burrows.

Gopher tortoises are vital "nature's engineers," digging extensive underground tunnels that provide essential shelter from weather, fires, and predators for countless creatures. Corwin, alongside experts from Defenders and Saving Florida's Gopher Tortoises, meticulously excavates these animals from development sites to prevent them from being entombed.

On April 8, 2024, CLG Europe’s Materials and Products Taskforce hosted a WCEF Side Event webinar: "How the new EU institutions can kickstart the Circular Economy." Ahead of European elections, experts discussed the circular economy's political role. A recent ESABCC report highlights minimal EU progress in circular material use, increasing from 10.8% (2010) to 11.7% (2021).

To meet the EU's 2030 goal of doubling this rate, a tenfold increase in current annual progress requires more recycling and less material demand. The Taskforce, established in 2021 to drive policy, will release a report later this year. It will set the EU's circular economy policy agenda for the next five years, recommending actions to accelerate the shift to climate-neutral materials.
