Ted Turner remembered for conservation legacy
Ted Turner often framed conservation as essential for human survival.
He saw habitat restoration, stewardship and endangered species work as ways to address climate change and resource depletion.
He loved the land and as one of the largest private landowners in the United States, he fueled conservation work across the West.
The media mogul died Wednesday.
He was 87.
His ranches in New Mexico, Montana and Nebraska are living laboratories for large-scale conservation.
He used his landholdings to reintroduce rare and endangered species, from wolves and bison to tortoises, ferrets and falcons.
