While both Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft made significant contributions to the conservation of natural resources, Roosevelt's efforts were more impactful and comprehensive. Roosevelt established the U.S. Forest Service and created five national parks, 18 national monuments, and 150 national forests, protecting approximately 230 million acres of public land. In contrast, Taft expanded some conservation efforts but controversially supported the sale of public lands and weakened some of Roosevelt's policies, ultimately leading to a decline in conservation momentum during his presidency. Therefore, Roosevelt's aggressive and visionary approach to conservation solidified his legacy as the more committed leader in this area.
The law that allowed Theodore Roosevelt to set aside federal land for conservation was the Antiquities Act of 1906. This legislation enabled the president to designate national monuments to protect significant natural, cultural, or scientific features. Roosevelt utilized this authority extensively, establishing numerous national parks and monuments, significantly expanding the conservation movement in the United States.
Gifford Pinchot, a close friend and ally of Theodore Roosevelt, played a crucial role in helping him develop and implement the first comprehensive national conservation policy. As the first Chief of the United States Forest Service, Pinchot worked alongside Roosevelt to establish numerous national parks, national forests, and wildlife refuges, and to promote sustainable management of natural resources.
Among other things he began the national parks system.
