Ted Turner: A Friend of Endangered Species and a Valuable Partner
Lily Tomlin once said: “I always wondered why somebody didn’t do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody.”
Thankfully, Ted Turner has always realized that he is somebody, and long ago decided he wanted to do something to help conserve endangered species. And then he got to work, making a real difference in the lives of the black-footed ferret, the red-cockaded woodpecker, wolves and many other species.

That’s why, this week, I traveled to the Ladder Ranch, in New Mexico, to present Ted Turner and the Turner Endangered Species Fund with our Endangered Species Recovery Champion award.
