In 1826, the first mosquitoes arrived in Hawaii aboard a whaling ship. Learn how they spread avian malaria to native birds, accelerating extinction in this already imperiled ecosystem, and join scientists as they learn how one species is bucking the extinction trend through evolution. History, island biogeography and genetics converge as the Amakihi, a native honeycreeper, mysteriously re-populates the lowlands of Hawaii, providing hope for the future of other native birds in Hawaii.

1956: A team of explorers documents the disappearance of the world's glaciers. Tools: Ice axes, crampons, and ingenuity. 2006: Conrad Anker, one of the world's most renowned mountain climbers, brings news of the accelerating impacts of climate change straight from the front lines. Tools: Ice-axes, crampons, and ingenuity. Though we're now collecting data via satellite and analyzing by quantum computer, what have we really learned about Earth as an ecoysystem over the past half-century? How will we apply it in the next half-century? This film is about learning from experience and passing that experience on to the next generation. It is our world to make. In 2056, what will be our legacy?

The aerial adventure continues with Part Two. Kevin Roache, a commercial jetliner pilot, flying a group of indigenous women over the area where the Costa Rican government has plans to erect what would be Central America?s largest dam. This enormous hydroelectric dam on Rio de Terraba, whose power output is destined for Mexico and the United States, would flood an expansive area of lowland tropical rainforest and put the homes of the Boruca Indian people under hundreds of feet of water. With a view from above, the stakes for development at the expense of the natural ecosystem and its inhabitants looks even higher.

Every year 1.5 million deer crashes leave 13,713 people injured and result in $1.1 billion worth of vehicular damage. But numbers can't tell the whole story. What happens when man-made barriers artificially divide a natural ecosystem? At Milepost 314, off of I-90 in Montana, April Craighead is pioneering efforts to minimize the costs to both humans and the larger ecoysystem. In doing so, she sparks our imagination to consider the creation of a system of wildlife corridors which would allow numerous species to migrate freely across unnatural boundaries.

First Nation inhabitants have depended upon marine resources for thousands of years in the Pacific Northwest. Now an important ecological and cultural symbol of sustainability, the pinto abalone, is being pushed to the brink of survival. But this community is responding - combining traditional knowledge, modern science, and old-fashioned elbow grease to challenge the forces of extinction. This grassroots effort is an inspiring micro-model for what could ultimately be done on a global scale.
