Trump, Burgum out to undo Roosevelt’s legacy, conservation advocates say

Conservation leaders are raising alarms about the Trump administration and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum allegedly working against the conservation efforts of Theodore Roosevelt. They argue that Roosevelt’s efforts to preserve American lands during the Gilded Age are being undermined. This move is seen as a threat to the environmental protections that have been foundational to the country’s natural heritage. The implications could be significant, potentially reversing decades of conservation progress and impacting everything from wildlife protection to public land management.
