Season 2, Episode 34 of 42

News from Nature - At a wildlife sanctuary in Kenya, a team of conservationists is tackling a big challenge - raising orphaned elephants. Caring for the orphans is no small task as the keepers must stay by the elephants' sides 24-hours a day. It's a long and difficult road, but the infants that grow strong may return to the wild one day. Crittercam(r) - Go with the floe as a biologist searches for leopard seals among the Antarctic ice. Stealthy and silent both above and below water, these top predators are hard to pin down, making their habits greatly unknown. Researchers deploy Crittercam(r) to reveal new insights into the lives of these relentless hunters as they float along a caravan of ice. Adventure and Exploration - America's great waterways are full of history, but as National Geographic Conservation Trust Grantee Chad Pregracke knows, they're also full of trash. For the past 10 years Pregracke has worked to clean up and restore America's rivers. Wild Chronicles fights against the tide of garbage to join the clean-up effort in Washington, D.C., along the banks of the Anacostia River. Stories from the Wild - Florida's Indian River Lagoon, home to endangered green sea turtles, has become a toxic soup of pollution. For the past 50 years, scientists have observed an increasing number of tumors on these troubled turtles, and they believe that pollution is behind this epidemic. National Geographic's Brady Barr is on the scene working with local biologists to rescue and rehabilitate the sick turtles with the ultimate goal of returning them to the wild.
