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.

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.
