Meet the bone collector caterpillar, a newly described Hyposmocoma species. This rare carnivore (only 0.13% of caterpillars) lurks in spider webs, camouflaged by insect corpses, even preying on its own kind. Roughly the length of a fingernail, it's a fascinating example of nature's unique adaptations.

"Corazón Salado" by Patagonia Films follows activist Ramón Navarro as he joins the Kawésqar, an Indigenous community in Chilean Patagonia, to protect their ancestral waters. The encroaching salmon industry pollutes and destroys the delicate ecosystem, forcing the Kawésqar to struggle for food.

Navarro connects with Leticia Caro and her father, Don Reinaldo, a traditional fisherman, to expose the salmon farms' damaging effects. Together, united by their love for the sea, they advocate for establishing a marine protected area within Kawésqar National Park.

Bio-inspired packaging could revolutionize food shipping and spoilage. Currently, 40-60% of produce spoils before consumption, especially where cold storage is lacking. This wastes half of humanity's harvest while a billion people face hunger.

GreenPod Labs has developed sachets that harness natural signaling substances from fruits and vegetables. Placed in produce crates, these natural, residue-free sachets extend shelf life by 40-60% without affecting safety or nutrition. Visit GreenPod Labs for details.

This innovation, inspired by biomimicry, offers a sustainable solution to dramatically lower food waste. Explore more at AskNature or Biomimicry Institute.

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.

Jeff Corwin joins conservationists in California to protect pinnipeds, including elephant seals and sea lions. Organizations like the Marine Mammal Care Center and Defenders of Wildlife are crucial in rescuing and rehabilitating these animals, which face severe threats from climate change, overfishing, habitat loss, and plastic pollution.

Corwin assists Dr. Lauren Palmer and Andy Johnson in rehabilitating four malnourished California sea lion pups, one of whom ingested plastic. After critical care, tagging, and weighing, the pups are successfully released back into the wild. This effort underscores the vital role of conservation in giving endangered animals a second chance and addressing environmental challenges for ecosystem health.

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.
