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.

Join host Jeff Corwin in Central Florida as he helps rescue threatened gopher tortoises from new real estate developments. Florida's rapid growth, with 1,000 new residents daily, leads to habitat destruction. Alarmingly, older permits still allow developers to bury tortoises alive, along with the over 360 other species that rely on their burrows.

Gopher tortoises are vital "nature's engineers," digging extensive underground tunnels that provide essential shelter from weather, fires, and predators for countless creatures. Corwin, alongside experts from Defenders and Saving Florida's Gopher Tortoises, meticulously excavates these animals from development sites to prevent them from being entombed.

Host Jeff Corwin travels to Alaska's Cook Inlet to assist conservationists Nicole Whittington-Evans and Suzanne Steinert in monitoring the critically endangered beluga whale population. These "great white canaries of the sea" are uniquely adapted to Arctic life, using echolocation and feeding on salmon, but their numbers have drastically declined.

The Cook Inlet beluga population has plummeted by nearly 80% since the late 1980s due to habitat degradation, climate change, and other cumulative human impacts. Conservation efforts focus on reducing these threats and balancing human and wildlife needs to ensure these iconic whales survive for future generations.

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.
