Ted Turner's Conservation Legacy

Ted Turner, a billionaire and one of the largest private landowners in the U.S., has dedicated substantial efforts to land conservation and wildlife restoration. He owns around two million acres across various states, where he has reintroduced native species, including bison, desert bighorn sheep, and the Mexican wolf, to help restore the ecosystem. At the age of 80, facing health challenges like Lewy body dementia, Turner has intensified his commitment to protect and manage his lands, believing that humanity can create a 'heaven on earth.' His vision highlights the intersection of conservation and personal legacy, as he aims to preserve these natural landscapes for future generations.
