Veteran science journalist Miles O’Brien travels to some of the most remote places on Earth to witness both the scale of the crisis and the audacity of those working to address it.
In Argentina’s Iberá Wetlands, conservationist Kris Tompkins, the former CEO of Patagonia, has dedicated her life and fortune to rewilding a landscape where jaguars, giant river otters and other keystone species were hunted to extinction.
O’Brien witnesses the translocation of a young jaguar to a new national park, part of an ambitious plan to restore an entire ecosystem, a story of breathtaking hope shadowed by painful reality.

The “Resolve to Solve with Miles O’Brien Podcast” is the official companion podcast of the documentary series.
In this podcast episode, Miles reflects on the once-in-a-lifetime experience of touching a sedated jaguar in Argentina. Her name was Acai, and she was part of Tomkins Conservation’s ongoing efforts to reintroduce jaguars to the Iberá Wetlands, where they are locally extinct.
He dives into the rewilding efforts of South Africa, which set the standard for the work that Rewilding Argentina is doing now.
