Dive into the Missouri River to follow scientists' efforts to help sustain the wild population of Pallid Sturgeon. Despite their ancient roots, modern infrastructure and climate change pose threats to not only the pallid sturgeon, but the river's ecosystem as a whole. Kirk Steffensen, Missouri River Program Manager of Nebraska Game & Parks, visits host Carlee Moates in our studio where he expands on the story of the sturgeon and the future of the Missouri River. Next, it's off to Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium for a behind-the-scenes look at the zoo's efforts to help prevent the global decline of amphibians. And to round things out, enjoy a breathtaking aerial journey over the Missouri River near Brownville.
