Gifford Pinchot and Conservationism

 

Paper needs to be centered on the following thesis : Gifford Pinchot’s public prominence as Governor of Pennsylvania, along with his personal relationship with even more prominent figures such as Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft and his employment as Chief Forester of the United States Forest Service under President Roosevelt, all proved to be the result of why his views of Conservationism became a more widely accepted view among the vast majority of Americans involved with movements regarding the environment at the time. His counter-part John Muir, although he had a good personal relationship with Theodore Roosevelt, his Preservationist ideas did not receive as much recognition due to the fact that Pinchot’s assertion was preferred over Muir’s because it allowed for the use of the land and its productive uses responsibly, while being managed accordingly, while Muir favored a more “don’t touch” and “preserve” the land view. At the rate industry and population where growing, it was imperative to make use of the land and its resources. If it was done responsibly and managed accordingly it would allow for future generations to make use of them as well.
