Join Jeff Corwin on "Wildlife Nation" as he explores North American conservation success stories. He begins in Washington, assisting with the relocation of a beaver family to protected habitats, highlighting their vital environmental contributions and the importance of family life.

Corwin then travels to Alaska to study the humble bumble bee, a small but critical species. Finally, he delves into the mysterious world of bats in Northern California, learning how conservationists protect their habitats and unlock the secrets of their sonar abilities.

This adventure celebrates North America's incredible creatures and the dedicated conservationists working to protect them.

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.
