As host and executive producer of Wildlife Nation, now in its third season, Corwin has partnered with the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida to create the first nationally broadcast mainstream television series produced in part with a Native American tribe. The Everglades and South Florida are at the heart and soul of the series, highlighting critical conservation issues from invasive pythons to tarpon protection, coral reef restoration, and habitat recovery in the Florida Keys.

Reaching millions of viewers each week and ranking in the highest-rated show in its timeslot, Wildlife Nation shares powerful stories of Florida’s wilderness and the people working tirelessly to protect it. With his signature passion and storytelling, Corwin inspires audiences to connect with the natural world and take action to preserve it for future generations.

Known for his dynamic storytelling and deep commitment to environmental stewardship, Corwin has inspired millions through shows like Ocean Mysteries, The Jeff Corwin Experience, and, currently, the popular CBS television series, Extraordinary World. He has won multiple Emmys and top broadcast industry awards for his TV work.

Corwin also has authored 10 books, including the acclaimed 100 Heartbeats: The Race to Save Earth’s Most Endangered Species, which MSNBC produced as a documentary.

The Watson Family, Mike & Deb Szymanczyk, and Sanibel Moorings sponsor the presentation. For more information on Corwin’s presentation, contact Jeff Decker at Jeff@dingdarlingsociety.org.
