PATHWAY TO PROTECTION CLIP

Updated on February 22, 2024

This week, we’re headed to the Sunshine State to see how animals safely travel in their habitats.

Peter and Dr. Rae venture through Florida to discover the results of a new wildlife corridor protecting animal migration and endangered species recovery. Florida is home to one of the most diverse ecosystems in the United States with over 4,300 known species. Now, 18 million acres of wilderness allows some of Florida’s most precious species to live and travel across the state without the need to cross roads or areas of human habitation. Peter and Dr. Rae learn just how vital the corridor is to species like the Florida panther, black bear, alligator and even the tiny, but hearty, scrub jay. They meet the incredible people fighting to protect the Sunshine State’s ecosystem.
