  1. Episodio 1

    Five Billboards Outside Livingston, Montana

    The Endangered Species Act helped bring the Yellowstone-area grizzly population back from the brink of extinction. It also sparked controversy over a question that looms over more species than just grizzly bears: How do we balance the needs of endangered wildlife with the needs of humans?

  2. Episodio 2

    Hell or High Water

    The first great battle over the Endangered Species Act begins. Thanks to an eclectic group of activists, a tiny fish in Tennessee halts construction on a massive dam and ends up in front of the Supreme Court.

  3. Episodio 3

    Sue the Bastards

    A gang of monkey-wrenching activists try a new approach in the fight to save threatened species and ecosystems: They put on suits and enter the courtroom. In doing so, they change conservation forever.

  4. Episodio 4

    Smoke a Pack a Day

    Wolves get trapped in the wild, loaded onto an airplane, and delivered to Montana and Idaho. When they scamper off into the wilderness, they test a question central to endangered species debates: What does it mean to recover a species?

  5. Episodio 5

    The Passenger Pigeon and the Chicken

    From grizzlies to wolves, hunting plays a controversial role in many Endangered Species Act stories. This time, an African animal on Texas ranchland shows how hunting does — and doesn’t — serve conservation.

  6. Episodio 6

    Shoot for the Moon

    A fish killing mystery that starts with the Endangered Species Act shows how state and federal wildlife law went from a weapon used against tribes, to a tool for tribes to reclaim what was stripped away.

  7. Episodio 7

    Poking the Bear

    A scientist realizes if sea ice keeps melting, polar bears will go extinct. To help them, the Endangered Species Act takes on climate change — and in this battle, the law may have met its match.

  8. Episodio 8

    Looking at the Caterpillar

    A caterpillar crosses the road. It starts a conversation about the long view of conservation, across species and across generations.
