Wildlife Nation  >  Episode 22

Join host Jeff Corwin on an exploration of North American conservation success stories. First, Jeff visits the beautiful Pacific Northwest state of Washington to help relocate a family of beavers to new, protected habitats. Jeff learns about the vital contributions beavers make to their environments and the importance of family in a beaver’s life. Next, Jeff travels north to Alaska to help study one of the smallest but most critical species of all: the humble bumble bee. Finally, Jeff explores the world of bats in the forests of Northern California and learns how conservationists are working to protect their habitat and unlock the secrets of sonar.
