Join host Jeff Corwin to explore the remarkable comeback of the American crocodile. Once near extinction with only 100 adults, their population now exceeds 2,000 in South Florida, largely thanks to an unexpected sanctuary: the Turkey Point nuclear power plant. Its secure 6,000-acre network of cooling canals provides an ideal nesting habitat, a "nuclear headstart program" supported by Florida Power & Light and Defenders of Wildlife.

Conservationists monitor and tag hatchlings before releasing them, ensuring the health of these apex predators. Protecting crocodiles is vital, as their thriving population signifies a healthy broader ecosystem. Learn more about wildlife conservation at www.defenders.org/wildlifenation.

The Center for Biological Diversity is a Tucson, Arizona-headquartered 501c3 nonprofit. We believe human welfare is deeply linked to nature—to the vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Recognizing diversity's intrinsic value and the societal impoverishment caused by its loss, we work to secure a future for all species on the brink of extinction.

We achieve this through science, law, and creative media, focusing on protecting the lands, waters, and climate essential for species survival. Our ultimate goal is for future generations to inherit a world where the wild still thrives.

Suzanne Simard, Professor of Forest Ecology at the University of British Columbia and author of the bestselling "Finding the Mother Tree," is a world-renowned pioneer in plant communication and intelligence. Her groundbreaking research reveals the complex ways trees interact and communicate through below-ground fungal networks, which are crucial for forests’ resiliency, adaptability, and recovery.

Simard’s work has far-reaching implications for managing and healing forests from human impacts, including climate change. She discusses the dire global consequences of logging old-growth rainforests and advocates for nature-based solutions that combine Western science and Indigenous knowledge to preserve and care for these invaluable ecosystems for future generations.

Over 4 billion tons of plant residues are burned annually, fueling wildfires despite their intrinsic economic value for conversion into fuels or chemicals. This talk explores the paradox of biomass disposal versus utilization, highlighting innovative efforts to make residue conversion economically attractive. The goal is to turn "trash into cash," reducing environmental and economic damage from burning.

Kevin Kung, CTO of biomass technology start-up Takachar and a Cyclotron Road fellow, specializes in biomass and energy conversion. With a Ph.D. from MIT, he co-founded Safi Organics, a profitable biochar fertilizer company serving over 3,500 farmers. This TEDx talk was given by him. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
