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.]]> 2023-04-27 15:44:24 UTC https://padlet.com/devonjasulavic/4uu02yknite1toq4/wish/2570589679 devonjasulavic https://padlet.com/devonjasulavic/4uu02yknite1toq4/wish/2570590230 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.]]> 2023-04-27 15:44:43 UTC https://padlet.com/devonjasulavic/4uu02yknite1toq4/wish/2570590230 devonjasulavic https://padlet.com/devonjasulavic/4uu02yknite1toq4/wish/2570590642 There are acts and laws dedicated to all things conservation waiting to be passed, while back then they controlled industries and set land aside.]]> 2023-04-27 15:45:03 UTC https://padlet.com/devonjasulavic/4uu02yknite1toq4/wish/2570590642 devonjasulavic https://padlet.com/devonjasulavic/4uu02yknite1toq4/wish/2570590892 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.]]> 2023-04-27 15:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/devonjasulavic/4uu02yknite1toq4/wish/2570590892 devonjasulavic https://padlet.com/devonjasulavic/4uu02yknite1toq4/wish/2570591006 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.]]> 2023-04-27 15:45:20 UTC https://padlet.com/devonjasulavic/4uu02yknite1toq4/wish/2570591006 devonjasulavic https://padlet.com/devonjasulavic/4uu02yknite1toq4/wish/2570592187 Teddy Roosevelt helped pass acts and laws.
The National Forest Service took care of national forests and grasslands.
The National Park Service takes care of the national parks as well as other important places.]]> 2023-04-27 15:46:11 UTC https://padlet.com/devonjasulavic/4uu02yknite1toq4/wish/2570592187 devonjasulavic https://padlet.com/devonjasulavic/4uu02yknite1toq4/wish/2570592939 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.]]> 2023-04-27 15:46:39 UTC https://padlet.com/devonjasulavic/4uu02yknite1toq4/wish/2570592939 devonjasulavic https://padlet.com/devonjasulavic/4uu02yknite1toq4/wish/2570593251 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 ]]> 2023-04-27 15:46:51 UTC https://padlet.com/devonjasulavic/4uu02yknite1toq4/wish/2570593251 devonjasulavic https://padlet.com/devonjasulavic/4uu02yknite1toq4/wish/2570593416 Adam Kolton spread the word and idea of conservation as the Vice President of the National Wildlife Federation's Advocacy Center.
The National Wildlife Federation spreads the word to people and is the largest nonprofit conservation education and advocacy organization in the country.
The National Park Service still takes care of all of the parks, maintains them, and aids in conservation.]]> 2023-04-27 15:46:59 UTC https://padlet.com/devonjasulavic/4uu02yknite1toq4/wish/2570593416
