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.
