President Theodore Roosevelt And His Legacy


We have had a long history of Environmental policies in America. Theodore Roosevelt is considered the “father” of America’s environmental protection. According to the daily green, TR “saved over 150 million acres of timberland, created the U.S. Forest Service, created around fifty wildlife refuges and five national parks.” These parks and refuges today are home to some of the only species of their kind left, and Yellowstone National Park has lead to “three hundred million dollar” discoveries, and scientists are still learning from Yellowstone to this day.
