America’s Ambitious Plan to Restore the Wild West (12:22) 

North America's vast grasslands were once full of thriving wildlife, stretching endlessly across the horizon. But overhunting and farming led to the decline of many species. Much of the land was turned into cattle farms, forever changing the landscape and taking away its natural beauty. In Planet Wild’s 19th Planet Wild mission, we're helping restore America's farmland to its wild origins. By reintroducing iconic species like bison and pronghorns, we’re helping them reclaim their rightful place on the plains.

Undamming a River, Rebuilding a Forest (27:51) 

Ten years after the largest dam removal in history—on the Elwha River, in Washington State—scientists are chronicling an inspiring story of ecological rebirth. Recovering salmon populations are transferring critical nutrients from the ocean into the forests along the Elwha’s banks, enriching the entire ecosystem. The Elwha’s revival is encouraging advocates to push for the removal of many larger dams in the region, and in the rest of the world.

Undamming a River, Rebuilding a Forest (27:51) 

This film, Restoring Balance, reveals the scope and scale of the massive restoration effort unfolding on the Klamath River. Woven together, the collective efforts of hundreds of experts, from engineers and hydrologists to local tribes, will transform this landscape into a clean, free-flowing river that will once again support one of America’s greatest fisheries.

Saving the Black-Footed Ferret in Colorado (11:27) 

Once thought to be extinct, the black-footed ferret remains one of the most endangered mammals in North America. Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is working to restore populations of these rare (and rarely seen) animals to eastern Colorado. This video provides an intimate look at Colorado's Black-Footed Ferret Recovery Program with CPW Species Conservation Coordinator Tina Jackson.

Colorado’s Kokanee Salmon Spawn (6:35) 

Each fall, Colorado's kokanee salmon swim nearly 30 miles upstream from Blue Mesa Reservoir to the Roaring Judy State Fish Hatchery in Almont, Colorado. Here, CPW biologists and hatchery staff collect eggs from these unique, landlocked sockeye salmon. The eggs are then raised at the hatchery and the fish are restocked in 26 different lakes and reservoirs across the state. Because the fish are both raised and restocked at the Roaring Judy hatchery, the fish return here to spawn and complete their lifecycle each year. Kokanee typically live about 4 years in a reservoir before they spawn and die.
