Now our water is being polluted, and wetlands are drying up. Some of our coasts are at risk from climate related threats such as more severe storms and rising seas. We also need to recover our wildlife, as 12,000 species need focused conservation which can't be funded through normal means.

The wilderness was being destroyed. To help feed the growing cities and American population, loggers had to cut down more trees.  Miners were digging for metals and leaving craters behind when they ran to the next site.

Now, the problem has mostly changed from preventing forests from being cut down to keeping wildlife alive and water clean and safe.  Now, we are just waiting for laws, acts, and programs to be passed, and don't need new institutions.

The president is not as involved as Teddy Roosevelt, but now organizations are fighting for acts to be passed and the National Park Service has remained constant throughout.

There are now many laws, acts, and programs trying to be passed that help conservation. A new clean water rule would give protections to 20 million acres of wetland and 2 million stream miles. The Recovering America's Wildlife act would give 1.3 billion dollars to state wildlife agencies to help keep thousands species off of the endangered list. The Curtailing National Flood Insurance Program would provide subsidies to develop along sensitive areas which would reduce risk for communities and wildlife

Teddy Roosevelt created the national park system which preserved the wilds in different locations such as Yellowstone or the grand canyon.  The lumber and mining businesses were also to be controlled so that they wouldn't take down forests too quickly and miners wouldn't leave craters everywhere.
