“The planet can heal, it starts here.”

Synopsis

For nearly 175 years, the Southwestern United States has seen civilizations rise and fall, leaving behind landscapes stripped by time and industry. Northern New Mexico’s 560,000-acre Vermejo is one such place—a land rich with history, from dinosaurs and early Indigenous communities to homesteaders, a conservation-minded grain baron, and Hollywood’s glitterati seeking outdoor recreation. But modern times took their toll, leaving it overgrazed and scarred by mining. In 1996, Ted Turner bought the land as part of his work to restore and protect lands across the United States. A dedicated team began to work to heal the land, transforming it into a thriving sanctuary. Today, Vermejo Reserve stands as a testament to what’s possible: biodiversity restored, landscapes reborn, and a model for global conservation.
