CONSERVING BIODIVERSITY
by ensuring the persistence of imperiled species and their habitats with an emphasis on private land.

Much of the wonder of nature can be saved for future generations if conservation activities are more frequently and successfully applied on private working landscapes like those owned by Ted Turner.
