When the Maori arrived to New Zealand in 900 AD, it was one of the last places to be settled on earth by humans. They brought many elements of their Polynesian culture to the Islands, but none transformed the landscape as much as their use of fire. Modern Maori scholars shed light on the important role that fire has always played in their lives, as well as the inherent sense of conservation that is embedded in their culture and approach to the land. Part of WildFIRE PIRE series.

Tells the story of a young Jane Goodall and her special childhood toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. As the young Jane observes the natural world around her with wonder, she dreams of being able to help animals, until one day she finds that her dream has come true. Dr. Jane Goodall becomes a renowned humanitarian, conservationist, animal activist, environmentalist, and United Nations Messenger of Peace. Based on the book by Patrick McDonnell.
The Large Lakes Observatory (LLO) helps an interdisciplinary group of scientists use oceanographic research approaches to investigate the mysteries of large lakes. With support from the National Science Foundation, LLO scientists work to better understand the biology, chemistry, physics, and geology of these bodies of water. In the summer of 2011, LLO scientists completed a 17- day research cruise on Lakes Superior, Huron, and Erie, focusing on how a buildup of nitrates may impact the ecology of all the Great Lakes. They say a greater understanding of lakes will ultimately improve our management and conservation efforts.
Some conservationists believe that perhaps half of all species on earth will become extinct in the next 50 to 100 years. To prevent that, several groups work to assist efforts at conserving biodiversity. Some of the efforts include taxonomy (cataloging species), managed retreat (letting nature retake areas), saving seeds, and propagating endangered plants. Man's efforts toward destruction and development must be balanced with sustainability.
The Boreal Forest in Northern Canada is the bird nursery for North and South America. The birds and ducks that migrate to the forest are in danger from logging and mining in the area. Conservationists have seen numbers decline over the years, and they have established the Boreal Songbird Initiative to track the health and numbers of the birds’ migrations. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
Human actions can have positive and negative impacts on Earth. Students will learn ways to make sure they help preserve the Earth.
Students will learn practices for keeping the Earth healthy. The video distinguishes between unstainable and sustainable practices.
Scientists and researchers are working to understand the possible effects of Antarctic ice melt on global processes. Some areas that might be impacted include currents, water chemistry, and biological balance.
Shifting sands filling up shipping lanes are a fact of life on the North Carolina coast. Scientists are looking at new ways to manage dredged materials and protect the environment.
In this episode, Joel learns how homeowners can keep their yards environmentally friendly. Part of the Curiosity Quest Series.
In this episode, students will focus on the letter F and the number 15. They also learn how not to be wasteful by recycling. Part of the "Plaza Sésamo" series.
Paper is used for many things which can lead to excessive waste. New environmental programs focus on decreasing the consumption of usage as well as the benefits of recycling.
Describes human activities' effects on earth. Examines how humans, industrialization, and technologies impact the environment, water cycle, and land use. Encourages better planning and management of resources.
A photographic survey of the northwest Hawaiian Islands brings a hidden world into view. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
It is important to properly dispose of metals for the safety of people and the environment. Due to potential contamination problems, environmental programs focus on the recycling, reusing, and reducing of metals.
This UNC TV segment explores the intricate interactions between organisms which are the building blocks of the freshwater ecosystem. These include the relationships between insects and the environment, predator and prey, water and organic waste, and nutrients and underground channels.
The honeybee is vital to the pollination process and to the food supply. Agriculture depends on increasing the number of honeybees on farms, and scientists are studying ways to save and increase the honeybee population.
The unique hard bottom reefs off the coast of the Carolinas are home to a dynamic and delicately balanced ecosystem. A population of invasive lionfish has moved into the area. Their presence is disrupting this ecosystem and threatening the commercial fish industry.
Exotic wooly adelgids are defoliating hemlock trees in the eastern United States. Scientists from the U.S. Forest Service are enlisting the help of predator beetles to reduce the number of wooly adelgids.
High school student Kylee Sipowski has a plan to help polar bears. Global warming is impacting their habitats, and she networks with students, her local community, and international organizations to spread her message of conservation.
