42 years ago today,

This ‘little’ crane represents my ‘big’ wish for humanity - a world free of nuclear weapons. Add your voice & action August 4-9, to remember the atomic bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki by committing to a more peaceful future. It takes each of us.

#NationalBisonDay
! As our national mammal, bison are true, iconic species, & I'm proud to play a part in bringing them back from near extinction. Bison symbolize unity, resilience, & health for our country - their recovery is a story to celebrate.

SUNDAY PROFILE: Ted Turner
You need a wide lens on your camera to capture the many sides of Ted Turner, especially out on his sprawling, 113,000-acre ranch near Bozeman, Montana.
Turner sits down with Ted Koppel for a candid discussion
When speaking about the future and well-being of our planet, one of my favorite go-to catchphrases is ‘Save Everything.’ From the mighty bison to the prairie dog to the endangered gray wolf and smallest bumblebee. Everything on this Earth has worth and everything is worth saving.
#LoveYourPetDay
Ted's much loved, 13-yr-old black lab, Dixie, serves as his constant companion, joining him on hunts and fishing excursions throughout the year.

Hearing the news this evening of the passing of my long-time friend Mikhail Gorbachev deeply saddened me. He was a remarkable man of wisdom, of great vision, & an advocate for peace. The world has lost a true legend.

As a child I dreamt of vistas like this on my Montana property - where bison could roam in a home so spacious, they'd even look small on the horizon. Our National Mammal benefits soil, land, grass, & people's health across the continent.

This is outstanding news for a state so near and dear to me - a place where I own half my land. Congratulations to New Mexico and its great leader,
@GovMLG
, on passing this groundbreaking law. A big win for this beautiful state and a HUGE win for the environment!”
It's official. New Mexico's energy framework will never be the same – the Energy Transition Act is now law. The potential for New Mexico to be a national leader in renewable energy has always been there. Starting now, we are leading.
During this Thanksgiving holiday, let us all be grateful and stay focused on the present – activating our individual superpowers for the planet.

Sharing a favorite view in Montana where bison & conservation become one. Being an earth steward begins where we find inspiration & beauty in the natural world. Stewardship is the invisible contract we make to ensure it for generations.

How exhilarating to watch one million Mexican free-tailed bats taking flight at sunset from the Jornada Bat Caves on my Armendaris property. During Earth Month I want to highlight bat’s integral role in our ecosystem.

On the passing of my good friend, Bernard Shaw .. he was a pioneer, a consummate professional & one of the most respected journalists in the country. My thoughts & prayers are with his wife & family. The world has lost a hero for democracy & truth.
The time I spend in nature reminds me how much raw beauty exists in the world, and how careful we should be to preserve it. On this Earth Day and every day, I want to see humanity succeed and live in peace and harmony with the environment.

As our nation celebrates

As we use our collective power to stay safe and healthy this holiday season, we can also harness the magic of the New Year to fill our senses and spirit. Whether it's making a wish, or a new resolution - let's focus on ways to impart goodness to change the world for the better.
One of many inspiring quotes from a man whose courage and determination brought hope to the world… "Action without vision is only passing time, vision without action is merely day dreaming, but vision with action can change the world."

Happy New Year! There is something so exhilarating about the fresh start of a new year to expand and amplify our potential as stewards & humanitarians. There is no greater gift in the world we can leave our children & grandchildren than a cleaner and safer planet.

I was lucky enough to attend this great event last night honoring my good friends, President and Mrs. Carter, for their tremendous work in improving global health. Thank you both for all that you've done and continue to do! You're real American heroes.
What a thrill to be back in Newport celebrating one of the most memorable events in my life … winning America’s Cup. What a milestone to be back here 45 years later with my sailing family, my children and close friends. I am honored to have them by my side in 2022.

Let’s honor one of the planet's greatest advocates- the late great E.O. Wilson. Ed created a visionary plan to devote half the surface of Earth to nature to avoid mass extinction. We owe it to future generations to embrace this thinking, not only on Earth Day, but every day.
I wish for a peaceful future for all nations while honoring the men & women who sacrificed their lives serving in the U.S. military. In war-torn battlefields, the red poppy is one of the first plants to grow due to its tenacious spirit - a lasting symbol of remembrance & hope.

Mother Earth certainly provides an astounding return on investment when iconic mammals have room to grow and thrive. This philosophy is the bedrock of Turner Enterprises across ranching, ecotourism, and restoration efforts. Nature knows.

Bees are among the hardest working creatures on the planet. They benefit people, plants and the environment and are worthy of our gratitude and protection each and every day. Our survival as a species is linked to theirs. Click below to learn more.
This is the stuff of boyhood dreams and bucket lists! Paleontologists have named a newly discovered horned dinosaur species in my honor: 𝙎𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙥𝙨 𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙞. It lived six million years before its more famous relative, Triceratops.
To say I am honored is an understatement. My talented son, Rhett Turner's homage to my legacy in "Wildlands" celebrates the best of our family & our love for the planet. I hope it continues to inspire others. Thank you,

Over the years I've had the privilege of working with some of the most devoted and hard working people on the planet. Today, I celebrate my wonderful colleagues and associates of both past and present — and all the working people who help define America’s spirit.
