A curious youth growing up in New York City, Theodore Roosevelt enjoyed observing nature. His early passion for birds led him outdoors to a lifelong pursuit of exploration, adventure, and scientific discovery. Later, as a young man living in the Dakota Territory, Roosevelt witnessed how human activities could harm the environment. He understood that bold action was to conserve resources for future generations.
"The modern naturalist must realize that in some of its branches his profession, while more than ever a science, has also become an art." - Theodore Roosevelt, 1910.
