this american land

In North Carolina's swampy Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, wild red wolves cling to survival as one of the most endangered animals on the planet. Conservationists track their movements and support captive breeding programs. In a look back, wildlife authorities in Idaho recall when they airlifted beavers to remote mountainous areas where they were needed to manage ecosystems. On Florida's Suwannee River, wildlife photographers follow authorities as they capture and measure giant alligator snapping turtles, gathering valuable data needed to protect the species.
