Join host Jeff Corwin on an Alaskan adventure to help save North America's impressive feathered flyers. He explores the ancient Tongass National Forest, learning how this old-growth ecosystem supports diverse wildlife, including goshawks, wolves, and salmon. The forest is also crucial for carbon sequestration, acting as a natural climate solution.

Later, Jeff visits the Alaska Raptor Center, encountering iconic bald eagles, great blue herons, and goshawks. He assists in releasing Diesel, a young bald eagle rehabilitated after being hit by a car, helping the bird return to the wild.

Join host Jeff Corwin in Alaska's Cook Inlet as he assists conservationists Nicole Whittington-Evans and Suzanne Steinert in monitoring endangered beluga whales. These Arctic-adapted whales, known for their echolocation and lack of a dorsal fin, feed on salmon in the inlet. Once numbering over a thousand, their population has plummeted by nearly 80% since the early 1990s.

Habitat degradation from nearby human development and climate change are significant threats preventing recovery. Experts emphasize the need to reduce environmental impacts and balance human needs with beluga survival to ensure future generations can witness these incredible creatures.
