The return of spring to the Yellowstone River in Wyoming brings a flurry of wildlife activity. Swarms of newly-hatched insects provide an ample food supply for hungry fish swimming upstream to spawn. And the fish themselves are being hunted by even more tenacious predators, as no animal is ever quite safe in Yellowstone’s wilderness. ]]> http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/yellowstone-river/11798491/ 95922-11798491 Fri, 03 Oct 2008 14:30:23 -0400 Yellowstone River

In the southern reaches of the Arabian Desert lies the Empty Quarter, a brutally hot, arid landscape that covers a quarter of a million square miles. A trio of adventurers and their guides attempt to retrace a fifty-year-old route across this scorched environment on camelback, ever mindful of the towering, shifting sand dunes and the relentless heat. ]]> http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/off-the-map/11690228/ 95922-11690228 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 20:00:00 -0400 Off the Map

The African nation of Mauritania borders the largest desert in the world, the Sahara. Westward expansion of the desert is encroaching upon the nation, threatening to swallow homes, farms and everything else in its path. Until recently, local residents had nowhere to run from the sands. Thanks to the acacia tree, they may not need to run any longer. ]]> http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/sahara-trees/11653003/ 95922-11653003 Mon, 22 Sep 2008 11:56:59 -0400 Sahara Trees

Host Boyd Matson guides Wild Chronicles up a cliff face in Seneca Rocks, West Virginia, to experience a climber’s rite of passage. On a multiday climb, sleeping on a rock face is often a necessity, so climbers rely on a porta-ledge – a precariously perched home away from home. But 200 feet above the ground, setting the porta-ledge and climbing in is no easy task. Whatever you do, don’t look down. ]]> http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/boyd-on-a-cliff/11566456/ 95922-11566456 Fri, 12 Sep 2008 15:18:28 -0400 Boyd on a Cliff

Although commercial whaling is banned, some countries continue to kill hundreds of whales a year in the name of scientific research. Loopholes in the ban then allow the meat of the dead whales to be sold in stores and restaurants. Now, as whale watching becomes a substantial international industry, a heated global debate is growing from this conflict of interests, with conservationists fighting to stop the killing by pointing to the many benefits of keeping whales in the water. ]]> http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/pew-whale/11304204/ 95922-11304204 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:49:52 -0400 Pew Whale

Once found commonly throughout the Dominican Republic, the Ridgway’s hawk is now confined to a single forest preserve. Threatened by dwindling forests and conflicts with humans, fewer than 200 of these beautiful hawks remain. Wild Chronicles follows a conservation biologist who hopes that community education and awareness programs will encourage people to protect these birds for generations to come. ]]> http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/ridgways-hawk/11173244/ 95922-11173244 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 12:11:05 -0400 Ridgway's Hawk

Redwoods are the tallest living trees on the planet, and one of the best places to see them is northern California’s Redwood National Forest. Two naturalists think they have found the world’s tallest tree hidden among the many giants. One daring researcher climbs to the top to see how the tree measures up, learning much about the species along the way. ]]> http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/worlds-tallest-tree/11153413/ 95922-11153413 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 09:59:56 -0400 World's Tallest Tree

Wild Chronicles travels to Cuba where two biologists explore underwater caves to discover what lives beneath the Earth’s surface. Cave-diving is is always dangerous, especially if it has never been explored before. But the reward of discovering a new species is well worth the effort. ]]> http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/diving-cubas-caves/11153412/ 95922-11153412 Fri, 11 Jul 2008 15:28:25 -0400 Diving Cuba's Caves

Vineyards in Spain have survived bombs, wars, and plagues, but now they are facing their most life-threatening opponent yet – climate change. Wine connoisseurs can still enjoy a fine glass of Spanish wine, but the reality that some vintages may become increasingly rare or even nonexistent will be harder to swallow. Currently the largest producer of grapes in Europe, Spain will soon be competing with non-traditional wine producers in the North, such as England and Germany, where the increased temperatures have benefited the grape harvest. ]]> http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/spanish-wine-climate-concern/11153411/ 95922-11153411 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 11:51:23 -0400 Spanish Wine Climate Concern

Humans are not made to live underwater, but that’s exactly what scientists are doing in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Located 60 feet below the surface, Aquarius is an innovative controlled environment that allows aquanauts to live for days at a time underwater while studying the coral reef. ]]> http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/aquarius/11153410/ 95922-11153410 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:15:51 -0400 Aquarius

National Geographic grantee Jonathan Waterman, biologist George Schaller and a team of researchers traverse the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to determine how the region is faring in the face of global warming. Home to some 45 flourishing species of marine and land animals, ANWR is largely untouched by humans. But all that could change if ANWR is opened to oil excavation. ]]> http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/anwr/11153408/ 95922-11153408 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 11:46:03 -0400 ANWR

Greenland's ice cap is melting three times faster than it was just five years ago. In some parts, temperatures have risen five degrees Fahrenheit (-15 degrees Celsius) in two decades. Three adventurers attempt to cross Greenland's ice cap by kite-skiing. Their goal is to inspire young people to get active and care about the planet. ]]> http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/crossing-greenlands-ice-cap/11153407/ 95922-11153407 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 15:46:17 -0400 Crossing Greenland's Ice Cap

The Nakanai Mountains of Papua New Guinea are a remote part of the world, rarely seen by outsiders. Wild Chronicles joins National Geographic Young Explorers grantee Trip Jennings and a team of explorers as they embark on the first known kayaking expedition down the Pandi River from its underground source to the sea. But they must travel through dense jungle and uncharted caves before they can document the island’s stunning landscape in hopes of protecting the area for the future. ]]> http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/pandi-river-expedition/11153405/ 95922-11153405 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 10:12:01 -0400 Pandi River Expedition

The tropical environment of the Dominican Republic is a long way from home for National Geographic grantee Chris Rimmer. Like the birds he studies, Rimmer migrates to this biologically rich island to conduct his research. The goal of Rimmer’s pioneering research on the island is to compile a comprehensive database of both migrant and resident bird species that will lead to sound conservation practices. ]]> http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/chris-rimmer/11153404/ 95922-11153404 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:57:52 -0400 Chris Rimmer
