Going Wild is back! This season we're heading out of the studio and into the wilderness: entering bear dens in Arkansas, diving for slave shipwrecks in the Florida Keys and wading through murky swamps to bring you closer to the people, the animals, the sounds and the stories that make these wild spaces so magical and so worth protecting.
