roosevelt is chill

Around the 1990's there was a big wave of environmentalist ideas

floating around. President Theodore Roosevelts personality allowed him to

waste no time in expressing his views on being a conservationalist by taking

action with various subjects such as endangered species and parks to be

used for animal conservation. He was an outdoors man who loved animals

that showed through the things he did.President Roosevelt realized the

importance of conserving wild life, he had the mindset of an environmentalist

and a conservationist. Which was very valuable to the United States' out

doors.

President Roosevelt had a personality to go along with his love for

outdoors, he loved being outdoors and was very outgoing and rugged. That

probably aided in his plans of conservation and the such. He would prefer to

have all of his pictures be shot outside and with him doing something along

the lines of being mounted on a horse, standing next to some sort of animal

or wilderness and etc. It was clear to see that being an environmentalist was

going to be a big thing with Roosevelt. It is obvious because of his love for

animals. He would go bird watching quite often, sometimes even sketching

the birds.

The fact that Roosevelt was into animals made him make the

conservation act, in which he saved more then 150 million acres of wild

life. More needed to be done to help the wildlife when he decided to take

action when he found out how many species of animals at the time were in

brick of extinction because of various things like hunters and traders. Since

he was President he could finally do something about it, which he did.

Various laws were created by Theodore Roosevelt to help save many

animals such as the Bald Eagle, the mountain lion and even the grizzly bear.

The fact that he saved the grizzly bear is related to how the Teddy

Bear got it's name. Roosevelt realized the importance of animal species

preservation. He helped many species to survive and kept a large amount

of wild life saved keeping the natural animal cycle flowing smooth in the

United States, if it were not for President Roosevelt the United States

probably would have close to no animal species or wild life left. Roosevelt

knew better then to just sit around and wait for all the animals to become

extinct, he did somehting about it. He succeeded at doing it, which is also

why he is dubbed as the conservation president. He greatly influenced

this part of the United States making it better.

The environmentalist and conservationist actions that took place

in the early 1900's with Roosevelt were indeed wise, making Roosevelt

to be one of our most respected presidents. Roosevelt took quick action

to save our outdoors, without his help the United States would see little

wildlife, see little of any animals, and see little of the importance of

conservation.
