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.

Join Jeff Corwin as he explores critical conservation challenges facing amazing mammals. He travels to New England to help care for orphaned black bear cubs, learning about their unique behaviors and threats from pollution and habitat loss. At the Kilham Bear Center, Corwin assists in preparing cubs like Flower and Dover for release, a process involving sedation, health checks, and ear tagging to ensure their wild future.

Corwin also visits Florida to meet orphaned baby manatees, understanding habitat threats and rescue efforts. He aids veterinarians in healing injured opossums for their return to nature. This journey underscores that nearly a quarter of all mammals face extinction, emphasizing the urgent need for conservation to protect the remaining wild species.

Join host Jeff Corwin on an Alaskan adventure to help save North America's impressive feathered flyers. He explores the ancient Tongass National Forest, learning how this old-growth ecosystem supports diverse wildlife, including goshawks, wolves, and salmon. The forest is also crucial for carbon sequestration, acting as a natural climate solution.

Later, Jeff visits the Alaska Raptor Center, encountering iconic bald eagles, great blue herons, and goshawks. He assists in releasing Diesel, a young bald eagle rehabilitated after being hit by a car, helping the bird return to the wild.
