The North Dakota badlands were an important place in Theodore Roosevelt's life. It was while in the badlands that Roosevelt saw the degradation of the environment through human causes (cattle ranching and summer/winter of 1886-1887), and learned to respect and connect with common people. "I have always said I would not have been President had it not been for my experience North Dakota," Roosevelt said.
Roosevelt went on to become President of the United States and the world's leading land conservationist of all time. During his presidency, he conserved over 230,000,000 acres of land, 150 national forests, 18 national monuments, 51 federal bird refuges, and 5 national parks.
