Through this presentation I learned a lot about Theodore Roosevelt and his conservation efforts. Theodore Roosevelt was passionate about conserving our natural resources, because he knew that one day these resources would be exhausted. So he wanted to preserve these resources for future generations. He saw the need to protect these lands, so generations could see the beauty of the natural lands and its wild life. So Roosevelt dedicated not only his presidency to helping conserve these resources, he dedicated his life. It is the dedication that is considered Roosevelt’s lasting legacy. I learned that Roosevelt was passionate about conservation, because of his early love of animals as a child. As he grew up, he owned a ranch up in the Badlands.
