The Greater Antilles

Liz Bonnin heads to the Dominican Republic, where she scales a 60-foot palm tree to retrieve a Ridgeway's hawk chick and searches for a solenodon.

The peculiar geology of the Greater Antilles has created a stretch of islands with hidden natural treasures – from salt lakes, to deserts and forested peaks – where people are learning to forge a new relationship with the animals that inhabit this wild terrain.

Liz Bonnin heads to the Dominican Republic, where she scales a 60-foot palm tree to retrieve a Ridgeway's hawk chick, searches for a solenodon, joins local scientists in the driest and lowest place in the Caribbean, and helps a heroic team liberate flamingos after over 20 years of captivity.
