Conserving America's Wild Lands "The Vision of Ted Turner"

Over a lifetime, Ted Turner, founder of CNN, has dedicated more than two million private acres to a globally unparalleled conservation effort aimed at reintroducing and restoring the wildlife species that once roamed freely across these vast landscapes. This ambitious project represents one of the most significant private land conservation initiatives in the world, focused on preserving ecosystems, biodiversity, and the natural heritage of North America.

In this extraordinary visual journey, photographer Rhett Turner, Ted Turner’s son, offers readers an awe-inspiring first look at these keystone properties. Through powerful imagery and intimate access, the book reveals the scale, beauty, and ecological importance of Turner’s lands—celebrating a visionary commitment to conservation, restoration, and the enduring relationship between land, wildlife, and stewardship.
