Grand Canyon National Park

Take a StandTheodore Roosevelt was known as the conservation

president. He wanted the Grand Canyon to be left

alone. Many business people would like to develop

the lands surrounding the Grand Canyon. Some

want to establish uranium mines, others tourist

attractions. Do you think they have the right to do

that? What if the development changes visitors’

experiences at the Grand Canyon for the worse?
