Now that you've braved the wild, let's protect it!

Did you know that between 2000 and 2030, the countries projected to lose the most natural habitat due to urban growth include the United States, Brazil, Nigeria and China? That’s why TNC works across the globe to maintain much-needed biodiversity in nature, and protect and restore natural habitats for the wellbeing of even the most threated animal species.  

TNC has teamed up with “Coyote Peterson: Brave the Wild” to help protect nature. At its core, the series seeks to promote a message of compassion and welfare for our environment. Coyote and his crew give viewers an up-close and personal look at the wonders of the animal kingdom. As he travels to all new destinations, he shares their experiences with some of the most fascinating, bizarre, and iconic animals on this planet. 

"Coyote Peterson: Brave the Wild” airs Tuesdays at 8pm ET on Animal Planet.

I have been fascinated with animals my entire life, and it’s my goal to share this passion with the rest of the world while proudly encouraging a continued drive toward the conservation of species and their habitats.
