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 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.

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 host Jeff Corwin to explore the remarkable comeback of the American crocodile. Once near extinction with only 100 adults, their population now exceeds 2,000 in South Florida, largely thanks to an unexpected sanctuary: the Turkey Point nuclear power plant. Its secure 6,000-acre network of cooling canals provides an ideal nesting habitat, a "nuclear headstart program" supported by Florida Power & Light and Defenders of Wildlife.

Conservationists monitor and tag hatchlings before releasing them, ensuring the health of these apex predators. Protecting crocodiles is vital, as their thriving population signifies a healthy broader ecosystem. Learn more about wildlife conservation at www.defenders.org/wildlifenation.

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.

Host Jeff Corwin celebrates the Endangered Species Act (ESA), landmark 1973 legislation protecting vulnerable wildlife and ecosystems. The bald eagle, once near extinction, exemplifies the ESA's success, having recovered and now thriving across the U.S.

The ESA also protects sea turtles, with Florida's beaches being globally vital nesting sites. Conservation efforts, like Boca Raton's beachfront parks, are crucial. While only 1 in 10,000 hatchlings survive to adulthood, protecting their habitat allows these keystone species to flourish. All six sea turtle species nesting in America are protected by the ESA.
