TFI has proudly supported the @wolakotabuffalo Wolakota Buffalo Range of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe since 2021 and was an honored guest on the reservation last week to discuss the project’s ongoing success.

To learn more about the history of the bison – #AmericanBuffaloPBS, a film by Ken Burns, traces the near demise — and ultimate return — of the U.S. national mammal, while examining the species’ connection to Indigenous communities and the land. The two-part, four-hour film premieres on @PBS - Monday, Oct. 16 at 8/7c.

"Hot off the press! 📖 We’re so excited to have received a few copies of Sally Bethea’s new book “Keeping the Chattahoochee” in our metro Atlanta office. In it, Bethea shares stories – joyous, funny, and frustrating – from her twenty-year tenure as CRK’s founding director and Riverkeeper.

The Turner Foundation celebrates along with the Blackfeet Nation the successful return of the first free roaming herd of American bison on Indigenous lands.

The foundation supported the Blackfeet's @iinnii_initiative Iinnii Initiative along with @thewcs Wildlife Conservation Society for many years, that had at its heart the restoration of bison. We are grateful to see this come to fruition.

This Mother's Day we celebrate this healthy and devoted Mama doing her part. From a habitat perspective, this photo also demonstrates a success story. Black bears in the Great Smokies National Park are thriving. Scientists estimate 1900 bears call the park home, almost tripling the population that existed 30 years ago. Careful stewardship including habitat protection and enhancement, managed hunts, and the establishment of refuges where hunting is restricted in the larger landscape - combined with policies like local ordinances requiring the use of bear proof garbage containers - has resulted in this rebound. Bears are spreading into places they have not been for decades, reclaiming forests and fields within their historic range and reconnecting long-isolated and fragmented populations. That’s why the Turner Foundation supports science-based efforts to keep ecosystems intact and protect migration corridors so Mamas of all shapes and sizes can live their best life and enjoy some lazy days of summer.

We love seeing the world through our Founder and Chairman's eyes!

"Springtime ushers in a symphony of color and wonder -- including one of my favorite sights -- bison calves or "red dogs". During this season of renewal and regeneration the calves' fur will change to more of a brown color in just a few months' time. Nature has a knack for keeping things interesting. Another reason to honor it and #saveeverything.

When I started the Turner Foundation 33 years ago, it came from my desire to help the Earth. I look back with great pride at all the good the talented and dedicated individuals working for organizations that we have supported have done. If you want to know what you can do to help on Earth Day, I invite you to join me and lend your time or financial support to an environmental organization in your community and make it last all year long – not just in April!

Re-Posting from #tedturner FB page:

What an honor to be recognized by the @newmexico State of New Mexico. It has been a dream come true converting historic properties into nature reserves, and working with my family foundation, the @turnerfdninc Turner Foundation, Inc. to provide grants to youth, education, and conservation organizations in New Mexico. My deep love and appreciation for these lands inspires me to share them with the world through @tedturnerreserves Ted Turner Reserves in the hopes of inspiring others to ‘Save Everything,’ and protect the planet for future generations.
