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.

This film delves into themes of inclusion, identity, and hand-drawn heroes, centered on mountain biker, skier, and artist Brooklyn Bell. Unable to find a hero, Bell created Ruby J, a comic character who became her powerful role model.

Inspired by Ruby, Bell embraced the mantra to "live like her, breathe like her, be unapologetically black like her," ultimately forging her own identity through a blend of dirt, snow, art, and inclusion.

Directed by Dave Mayers and produced by Lauren Cerre and Dave Mayers, the film features cinematography by Joey Schusler and Jika Gonzalez, editing by Cameron Dennis, music by Jameson Williams, and graphics by Brooklyn Bell and Kris Cave.

Dave Courchene (Leading Earth Man) introduces Onjisay Aki, an Anishinabe term meaning "a changing Earth." This concept reflects the Original Peoples' millennia-long presence and the urgent need for humanity to adapt as our planet transforms. It also signifies a collective journey we must undertake.

Our ancestors established a path rooted in Indigenous values of respect, guiding us toward healthy relationships with each other and the Earth. Future generations depend on us to follow this trail of peace. A video, created with filmmakers Ian Mauro (Prairie Climate Centre) and Marcel Kreutzer (University of Winnipeg), further explains Onjisay Aki.
