  • Conservationist, Jim Abernethy, photographs the belly of a large manta ray off the coast of Isla Mujeres, Mexico. The unique pattern serves as their "fingerprint" identification, and this was a newly identified individual for the Manta Trust.

  • An adult salmon dies of exhaustion after spawning nearshore in Lake Ontario. For millennia, Atlantic salmon were an important and abundant food source in the Great Lakes region, but they have since been replaced with stocked Pacific salmon after native populations were extirpated from the region.

  • U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist, Sandie Doran, searches for Bald Eagle nest activity during a routine, mid-winter eagle count. New York State has seen a drastic improvement in their populations, in part due to endangered species protections.

  • New York State biologists carry a canoe back to the surface from an underground abandoned mine. The canoe helps them access far reaches of the cave filled with water, to get accurate assessments of the bat populations declining due to white nose syndrome.

  • Wildlife researcher holds spectacled caiman captured hatchlings captured under permit in the Florida Everglades. Caiman were introduced through the pet trade after the native American alligator received endangered species protections in the 1970s, and have since established, competing with native crocodilians for food and space.

  • An eco lodge, nestled in the rainforest of Belize, doubles as a research station for visiting scientists who study the region's unique and imperiled wildlife, including the Central American river turtle (Hicatee) and Morelet's crocodile. Guests enjoy a sustainable stay, while experiencing the natural sights and sounds of the jungle.
