RICO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) \u2014\u00a0Ted Turner loved the land, and lots of it: As one of the largest private landowners in the United States, he fueled conservation work across some 3,125 square miles of ranchland in several states, aiming to leave it in better shape for future generations.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=1916\">Russia is ramping up its attempts to kill opponents in Europe, intelligence officials say<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Framing conservation as essential for human survival, Turner saw habitat restoration, stewardship and endangered species work as ways to address climate change, the loss of biodiversity and resource depletion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to inspire people to care about the environment,\u201d Turner said in a 2016 interview with a travel publication. \u201cWhen we connect with nature, we heal ourselves.

His ranches in\u00a0New Mexico, Montana,\u00a0Nebraska\u00a0and elsewhere have become living laboratories.

I decided then that, if I could, I would do what I could to help bring the bison back,\u201d he said in a 2019 CNN program, \u201cTed Turner: Captain Planet.\u201d<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But he said \u201cI had to make a lot of money first. Because ranches are not cheap.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Turner bought his first ranch in 1987. Not long after, he acquired the Flying D Ranch near Bozeman, Montana, which is now one of the largest, most prominent examples of \u201crewilding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He initially used his properties for hunting and fishing before working on habitat restoration and the reintroduction of native species. The Flying D, for example, had been overgrazed so he replaced traditional cattle operations with a bison herd to restore the native ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>At Vermejo Park Ranch, purchased in the mid-1990s from Pennzoil and spanning more than 870 square miles near the New Mexico-Colorado border, Turner\u2019s team has worked to restore mountainsides and valleys degraded by overgrazing, mining and clear-cutting. It\u2019s also home to a herd of what ranch managers describe as genetically pure wild bison.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In all, Turner owned 13 ranches in six states. At some of the ranches, Ted Turner Reserves and Turner Enterprises have woven revenue-generating programs like bison ranching, recreation and tourism with ecology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe wanted part of America to still be preserved and in some way protected as it was at the time that the American Indians roamed those lands,\u201d former CNN President Tom Johnson said Wednesday. \u201cIn this era of development and commercialization and bad zoning, he cleaned up the streams and brought back the gray wolves and the prairie dog. I mean, he really cared about nature and was seeing what was happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Morris, CEO of The Nature Conservancy, said Wednesday that Turner just didn\u2019t believe in protecting nature, he acted on it and did so at a large scale.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=1910\">Agency will move forward with plans to propose weakening some Biden-era PFAS limits, official says<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe invested in land, restored ecosystems, and showed what\u2019s possible when you pair vision with real commitment,\u201d she said in a statement. \u201cHis work helped redefine conservation, proving that private lands and private capital can be powerful forces for public good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span><iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" class=\"youtube-player\" height=\"360\" loading=\"lazy\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F3IDuxDy4Lk?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" style=\"border:0;\" width=\"640\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Not without controversy<\/h4>\n<p>Turner purchased his ranches in Argentina during a privatization wave in the 1990s and 2000s when wealthy foreigners bought huge tracts. This sometimes sparked nationalist sentiments and concerns about resource exploitation and public access to rivers and lakes. Turner\u2019s celebrity made him a target, but he ultimately drew less criticism as he focused on low-impact ecotourism and conservation.<\/p>\n<p>In the western U.S., not all ranchers were pleased as Turner shifted land management practices on his ranches, including switching from cattle to bison.<\/p>\n<p>His support of wolves, including a Mexican wolf breeding program on the Ladder Ranch in New Mexico, drew the ire of ranching organizations that were raising the alarm about wild wolves killing livestock.<\/p>\n<p>And to the dismay of some cattle ranchers, Turner raised the world\u2019s largest bison herd, broadening the species\u2019 genetics and boosting markets for their meat as he supplied burgers and steaks to about three dozen Ted\u2019s Montana Grill locations in 14 states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy making it a commodity, by making a business out of it, it caused people to get into the bison ranching business, which spread the gene pool dramatically and has made the bison herd extremely healthy,\u201d restaurateur George McKerrow, co-founder of Ted\u2019s Montana Grill, said Wednesday.<\/p>\n<h4>From bison to birds<\/h4>\n<p>In interviews, Turner described his role as a caretaker, not owner, and stressed that business and conservation could align through \u201ceco-capitalism,\u201d a concept he popularized.<\/p>\n<p>What started with bison hooves helping to restore the prairie grass continues through the Turner Endangered Species Fund, which gives the Bolson tortoise \u2014 North America\u2019s largest and rarest tortoise \u2014 a leg up through a captive breeding program at the Armendaris Ranch in New Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>At Vermejo and the Bad River Ranch in South Dakota, Turner\u2019s team is partnering with state and federal scientists to recover\u00a0black-footed ferrets.\u00a0one of the rarest mammals on the planet with an estimated wild population of less than 300.<\/p>\n<p>From Aplomado falcons and desert bighorn sheep to bats and monarch butterflies, it all mattered to Turner. His philosophy revolved around the interconnection of all living things and the idea that no species should be discounted.
