  1. Barren-ground caribou

    Barren-ground caribou

    For generations, caribou have been at the heart of Inuit life. But in recent years, new infrastructure in the Canadian Arctic has started to block their migratory paths — and threaten a way of life that has lasted for millennia.  In this episode of This Is Wild, we’ll learn all about how caribou herds navigate the vast tundra, and how Inuit communities are working to protect the animals they rely on. From Inuit knowledge passed down through generations to the modern pressures of industry, we’ll uncover the delicate balance between people, animals and a rapidly changing landscape.

  2. Peregrine falcons

    Peregrine falcons

    In the 1950s, scientists noticed a troubling trend: around the world, peregrine falcons were disappearing, and no one could figure out why. Revered for their admirable hunting skills and impossible speed, the potential loss of peregrine falcons was devastating to bird lovers everywhere. In this episode of This Is Wild, we’ll uncover how a powerful combination of amazing science, policy shifts and public outcry led to one of conservation’s biggest wildlife success stories.

  3. Fin Whales

    Fin Whales

    Just a few years ago, the fin whale, the second-largest animal on our planet, reappeared in the fjords of northern B.C.’s Great Bear Sea after being gone for decades. But in the summer of 2025, a new LNG transport facility put this thriving new habitat in danger. In this episode of This Is Wild, we’re learning all about the elusive fin whale, and the tenuous recovery they’re making on Canada’s north Pacific coast. We’ll explore how these giants of the deep are reshaping life in the Great Bear Sea, and why the recent surge of tanker traffic could undercut their comeback.

  4. Monarch butterflies

    Monarch butterflies

    Every fall, monarch butterflies all across Canada start flying south. They travel thousands of kilometres, braving storms and food shortages, to make it to their wintering grounds in Michoacan, Mexico. In this episode of This Is Wild, we’ll meet the iconic little insects that make this extraordinary journey every year. From the monarchs’ remarkable navigation skills to the dangers that put their migration at risk, we’ll uncover what these fragile travellers reveal about the health of the natural world.

  5. Wolves

    Wolves

    In the 1930s, wolves were eradicated from Yellowstone National Park…and then the entire ecosystem went haywire. In this episode of This Is Wild, we explore the power of apex predators to impact their environments, both culturally and ecologically. From the ripple effects wolves had on rivers and forests to the deep cultural connections between people and these oft-misunderstood animals, we’ll uncover how their presence (or absence) can shape entire landscapes.

  6. Pacific Salmon

    12/09/2025

    Pacific Salmon

    For millennia, the members of Katzie First Nation have seen salmon as family. So in 2018, when a landslide put an already endangered population of Chinook salmon in grave danger, they knew it was time to act. In this episode of This Is Wild, host Ziya Tong tells the story of the salmon in B.C.’s Upper Pitt River. Once home to a thriving population of Pacific salmon, numbers have been declining in the area for decades. But how did we reach the point where one landslide can endanger an entire population? And how do we secure a brighter future for these remarkable fish? To learn more about Pacific salmon, you can go to www.wwf.ca/thisiswild.
