When conservation and capitalism meet: A visit to New Mexico’s Ted Turner Reserves

Ted Turner is the second largest private landowner in the United States. He recently opened up four of his properties to guests who want to experience nature tourism on his ranches in New Mexico.
by Gayle MacDonald

Most people, when they hear the name Ted Turner, immediately think of the outspoken businessman who founded CNN, the all-news channel based out of Atlanta. Few know him as one of the great conservationists of our time: A man who has given hundreds of millions of his personal wealth to save endangered species and protect vast tracts of land so future generations can enjoy them.

On a recent trip to New Mexico, I, too, had a crash course in getting to know a whole other side of the larger-than-life personality, who among many other goals, made it a personal mission to save the American bison from extinction. (He now owns the largest private herd in the world with more than 50,000 heads).
