CONSERVING BIODIVERSITY
by ensuring the persistence of imperiled species and their habitats with an emphasis on private land.
The Turner Endangered Species Fund and Biodiversity Divisions are dedicated to conserving biological diversity by ensuring the persistence of imperiled species and their habitats with an emphasis on private land.
We aim to use the best science to effectively conserve biodiversity and establish a new level of effectiveness for private-public efforts to redress the extinction crisis.
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.

Irrigating the forage plants that grow in the headstart pen not only jump-starts new growth on winter-dormant grasses – and thus important morsels of fresh food for small tortoises - but it also provides the tortoises their first drink in nearly six months following...
