Host Jeff Corwin highlights the plight of threatened aquatic animals, particularly Florida's iconic manatees. These gentle giants face critical threats: habitat loss, harmful algae blooms, and man-made barriers like the Kirkpatrick Dam, obstructing access to vital warm water springs. Conservationists restore habitats, like the Ocklawaha River, and implement rescue and rehabilitation to save this keystone species.

Florida's waterway challenges mirror global environmental issues. Oceans and wetlands are crucial for food, oxygen, climate regulation, and water filtration, but face constant threat. Protecting these vital ecosystems and fostering coexistence is essential for countless species, including the endangered Kemp's Ridley sea turtle and coral reefs, ensuring a healthy planet.

Join NHI and Arizona Game and Fish Department's Jeff Meyers to explore Arizona's four wildcat species. Learn about these powerful, often misunderstood predators, from their fossil origins to current ecology, including the world's third-largest felid.

Jeff Meyers, a wildlife biologist for the Arizona Game & Fish Department, manages the Wildlife Viewing Program. With over 25 years in Arizona and a passion for mammalian carnivores, he educates the public on wildlife and habitat conservation through lectures, field events, and live streaming cams.

Jeff Corwin joins conservationists in California to protect pinnipeds, including elephant seals and sea lions. Organizations like the Marine Mammal Care Center and Defenders of Wildlife are crucial in rescuing and rehabilitating these animals, which face severe threats from climate change, overfishing, habitat loss, and plastic pollution.

Corwin assists Dr. Lauren Palmer and Andy Johnson in rehabilitating four malnourished California sea lion pups, one of whom ingested plastic. After critical care, tagging, and weighing, the pups are successfully released back into the wild. This effort underscores the vital role of conservation in giving endangered animals a second chance and addressing environmental challenges for ecosystem health.

Jeff Corwin joined Defenders of Wildlife in Boston to aid peregrine falcon recovery. At Deer Island's wastewater treatment plant, falcons nest on a 130-foot filtration tank. This initiative, a collaboration with the Massachusetts Department of Fisheries and Wildlife and the Massachusetts Water Resource Authority, provides crucial urban nesting sites.

Once near extinction, peregrine falcons have made a remarkable comeback, with 50 known pairs now thriving in Massachusetts. Corwin and Jacob Malcolm assisted biologists in banding chicks, a vital step in tracking their recovery. This project exemplifies successful conservation, showing how ingenuity and stewardship allow wildlife to flourish in urban environments. Learn more at www.defenders.org/wildlifenation.

Host Jeff Corwin returns to Massachusetts, joining Dr. Lindsay Rosa of Defenders of Wildlife at the New England Wildlife Center. The center provides vital veterinary care for sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife, from raccoons to owls. Corwin and Rosa highlight the surprising biodiversity of New England and the challenges species face due to human encroachment and pollution.

They observe the rehabilitation of a swan suffering from lead poisoning, a common issue from fishing sinkers and shotgun shells. The team successfully treats the swan and later releases a recovered barn owl into a protected habitat. This experience underscores the critical need for conservation efforts and mindful coexistence to protect our wildlife neighbors. To learn more, visit www.defenders.org/wildlifenation.

Urbanist Jeff Speck addresses the problem of suburban car dependence, which he calls "a gas-belching, time-wasting, life-threatening prosthetic device." He proposes making cities more walkable and pleasant to free people from reliance on cars.

Speck highlights Portland, Oregon's early commitment to bicycles and walkability in the 1970s as a successful model. This TEDTalks presentation, published on October 14, 2013, advocates for Portland's "new way" of urban development.

Join host Jeff Corwin on a conservation adventure, beginning in California's Big Sur to help save the majestic California condor. At the Ventana Wildlife Society, Corwin assists in preparing juvenile condors for release into the wild. This iconic bird, North America's largest, was rescued from a population of just 22 individuals in 1982 through a dedicated captive breeding program. Today, approximately 500 condors exist worldwide, with about 300 flying free across the American West and Mexico.

Corwin then travels to his home state of Massachusetts to work with the Department of Fish and Wildlife. His mission there is to protect the unique saltmarsh sparrow, a species vital to the delicate salt marsh habitats of the East Coast.

Join Jeff Corwin as he investigates critical mammal conservation challenges. He reveals that nearly a quarter of all mammals face extinction, with wild species comprising only 4% of global mammal biomass. Corwin focuses on New England's orphaned black bear cubs, increasingly threatened by habitat loss and human proximity.

At the Kilham Bear Center, caregivers like Ethan Kilham raise these cubs, mimicking a mother bear to ensure they remain wild. The aim is to prepare them for release at 18 months, minimizing human interaction. The program showcases the careful process of sedating, health-checking, and tagging cubs like Flower and Dover before their successful return to the wild.
