Answer:

President Roosevelt led the conservationist movement by setting aside millions of acres of timberland and establishing wildlife preserves and national parks. He also urged the American people in speeches and essays to think differently about their natural resources. Boldly articulating his concerns for the future, he once said, "I recognize the right and duty of this generation to develop and use the natural resources of our land; but I do not recognize the right to waste them, or to rob, by wasteful use, the generations that come after us."

Hope this helps!!!

To protect wildlife and to preserve it’s irreplaceable ecosystem...also to provide more money for taxes.
