Join host Jeff Corwin to celebrate the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and its profound impact on wildlife. The bald eagle, once critically endangered, now thrives as a powerful symbol of conservation success, thanks to the ESA. This landmark 1973 bipartisan legislation protects vulnerable species and their ecosystems.

Corwin visits Florida's Boca Raton beaches, a vital nesting site for sea turtles. Conservationists Elizabeth Fleming and David Anderson demonstrate how habitat protection is crucial for species like loggerheads. Excavating a nest reveals successful hatchlings, underscoring that safeguarding their environment allows these keystone species to survive. Six of the world's seven sea turtle species nest in America, all protected by the ESA. Learn more at defenders.org/wildlifenation.

Join host Jeff Corwin in Alaska's Cook Inlet as he assists conservationists Nicole Whittington-Evans and Suzanne Steinert in monitoring endangered beluga whales. These Arctic-adapted whales, known for their echolocation and lack of a dorsal fin, feed on salmon in the inlet. Once numbering over a thousand, their population has plummeted by nearly 80% since the early 1990s.

Habitat degradation from nearby human development and climate change are significant threats preventing recovery. Experts emphasize the need to reduce environmental impacts and balance human needs with beluga survival to ensure future generations can witness these incredible creatures.

Join host Jeff Corwin on an adventure across central Florida, exploring the Silver and Ocklawaha Rivers, vital habitats for manatees. These gentle giants face severe threats, including habitat loss, dangerous cold snaps, and harmful algae blooms destroying their food sources. Tragically, manatee deaths are at an all-time high, impacting Florida's environmental integrity.

Conservationists, including Defenders of Wildlife, are racing to save this iconic species. A key solution involves restoring natural warm water habitats and removing man-made barriers like the Kirkpatrick Dam. A free-flowing Ocklawaha River would grant manatees access to essential warm springs, ensuring their survival and promoting coexistence with Florida's natural environment.

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.
