40 years ago, peregrine falcons were on the brink of extinction. Now you can watch them raise their young on a live webcam stream. This is the story of how that happened, and how the simple act of watching animals can change both our lives and theirs.

Produced by Sean WIllett. Featuring interviews with Irene Wade, Warren Fitch, and John Campbell. Music by Jahzzar.




Episode 1 — Peregrine Falcon

Grizzly bears are now only found in the wildest places — the forests, the mountains, the tundra. But this wasn't always the case. Grizzlies used to be so much more. And with our help, they can reach their full potential once again. 

Featuring interviews with Tyler Jessen and J. B. MacKinnon. Music by Podington Bear, Jahzzar, and the wonderful Mike Tod.

Episode 2 — Grizzly Bear

Monarch butterflies are declining fast, and conservationists need to work quickly to stop a potential extinction. But they can't do it alone. With the help of citizen science, researchers are able to gather information on an unprecedented scale — while also tearing down the barrier between science and the public.

Featuring interviews with Boyd Nave and Max Larivée. Music by Jahzzar and Podington Bear.

Episode 3 — Monarch Butterfly

Northern Leopard Frogs are abundant in eastern Canada, but their numbers are declining fast in the west. While an international frog killing fungus may be to blame, it's only part of the story — one that challenges our perception of how tough amphibians can be.

Featuring interviews with Marcus Sommers and Elizabeth Kolbert.

Music by Jahzzar and Podington Bear.

Episode 4 — Northern Leopard Frog

In this very different episode, The Redlist presents an interview between Sean Willett and Dr. Shelley Alexander about society's relationship to urban coyotes. Why are we so afraid of them? And is there anything worth being afraid about in the first place?

Regular episodes to return next month. Music by The Mountain Goats and Jahzzar.
