The Grizzly Bear, America's largest, most spectacular predator, was on the brink of extinction in Yellowstone National Park until the 1975 Endangered Species Act made its recovery the biggest success story in conservation history. All wild carnivores need large ecosystems to survive, but when human economic interests, food, or small children encroach into their territory, conflicts between bears and people are inevitable. As we witness the impacts of environmental degradations and human encroachment on the last grizzly habitat in the lower 48 states, we ponder whether this American wilderness icon still faces extinction or if we will be able to co-exist with it.
On China’s Yangzi River, National Geographic Explorer, Zeb Hogan, is looking for “China’s Underwater Panda.” Hogan and other conservationists fear that that habitat of the huge Chinese Sturgeons has been irreparably harmed by the building of dams and destruction of waterways.

Climate change is threatening the survival of the polar bears in the Arctic. Humans can take action to help reduce the negative effects of climate change and preserve the polar bears' habitat. In this episode, students learn a variety of energy-saving tips to help them reduce energy consumption in an effort to reduce the effects of global warming. Part of the "Saving a Species" series.
Polar bears are living on borrowed time. They are the descendants of grizzlies, long ago evolved to live and hunt on the frozen ice of the Arctic, eating a specialized diet of seal meat. But the winters have become increasingly warmer, the ice is disappearing, and raising a family becomes a much more difficult proposition when hunting time is short and food is scarce. Academy Award-winner F. Murray Abraham narrates.
Pandas in China's Wolong Reserve are in danger after an earthquake destroyed part of their habitat. The epic center of the earthquake was just 20 miles from the reserve.
