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.
