Peter and Dr. Rae sail to California's Channel Islands to unravel the secrets of one of the smallest foxes on Earth. They explore the archipelago's stunning beauty and discover the ancient connection between foxes and the Native American tribes that brought them to the islands. They learn about the modern-day challenges to fox survival and the critical role that America's national bird, the bald eagle, plays in their evolution. Finally, they work with biologists to find foxes in the wild and come face to face with these amazing creatures for themselves.

Peter and Dr. Rae experience the wonderful wilds of Washington state where conservationists are working with beavers to restore critical spawning grounds for endangered salmon. Rae learns how native tribes are relocating beavers from potentially dangerous situations on private land, and she helps to trap and release them to wild spaces where they can freely create dams and wetland habitat. Meanwhile, Peter puts in a hard day's work building artificial beaver dams that will jumpstart habitat restoration and allow beavers to take over. Then, he snorkels in a dammed side channel and spots dozens of juvenile endangered salmon thriving - a great sign that the efforts are working.

Peter and Rae travel to the Mojave Desert, the driest region of North America, to help conservationists save the Mojave Desert Tortoise. With special access to Edwards Air Force Base, they explore a groundbreaking program that head-starts baby tortoises and ensures the survival of the entire species. Along the way, they'll discover the Desert Tortoise's most dangerous and most intelligent natural predator: ravens. Peter and Rae work alongside biologists and engineers who are fighting to contain the raven problem and bring balance back to the Mojave ecosystem.
