Jeff Corwin joins Defenders of Wildlife in Boston to aid peregrine falcon recovery. At Deer Island's massive wastewater treatment plant, a nesting box on a 130-foot filtration tank provides a home for these once-endangered birds, the fastest on Earth. This collaboration with the Massachusetts Department of Fisheries and Wildlife showcases how ingenuity allows wildlife to thrive in urban settings.

Corwin, alongside Dr. Jacob Malcolm and biologist Dave Paulson, bands falcon chicks to track the species' remarkable comeback. Despite protective parents, the team successfully bands the young, contributing to a conservation success story. Massachusetts now boasts 50 known peregrine falcon pairs, many adapting to developed landscapes. Learn more at [Defenders of Wildlife](https://www.defenders.org/wildlifenation).
