In 8th grade, Lauren U.C. Ejiaga's science fair project on ozone depletion and Louisiana's marsh grasses won a top prize at Broadcom MASTERS. This experience highlighted the importance of environmental awareness alongside research, inspiring her to educate peers.

Now 17, Lauren leads multiple native plant restoration projects as a cohort leader for the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana. She also founded the "Conservation and Restoration Conjunction," a series of workshops promoting STEM education and coastal protection among youth. She recruits national science fair winners to speak about STEM careers.

Ecological restoration is challenging, with many advanced technologies being costly and complex. However, effective, low-tech "old school" methods have been successfully employed by land managers for decades.

Dr. Elise Gornish, a UA restoration ecologist, will share these accessible techniques, from seed balls to rock lunas, for restoring disturbed ecosystems. Her work focuses on arid land restoration and integrating approaches into weed management. She also directs UA GALS, a program offering STEM leadership to underserved female high school students.

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 Jeff Corwin on "Wildlife Nation" as he explores North America's remarkable reptiles and dedicated conservation efforts. In Florida, he investigates how a nuclear power plant aids American crocodile habitat and uncovers the secrets of the Eastern indigo snake, the continent's largest non-venomous snake.

Corwin then travels to Massachusetts, assisting conservationists in saving a beloved turtle species. Teaming up with Defenders of Wildlife, Jeff celebrates North America's incredible creatures and the dedicated individuals working to protect them. You're invited to join this adventure.

Our linear "take, make, waste" economy drives over 90% of global biodiversity loss and nearly half of greenhouse gas emissions. To restore nature and ensure our survival, a circular economy is essential. This episode explores how businesses implement and scale these vital solutions.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, champions the circular economy model: eliminating waste and pollution, circulating products and materials, and regenerating nature.
