Taylor examines the emergence and rise of the multifaceted U.S. conservation movement from the mid-nineteenth to the early twentieth century. She shows how race, class, and gender influenced every aspect of the movement, including the establishment of parks; campaigns to protect wild game, birds, and fish; forest conservation; outdoor recreation; and the movement's links to nineteenth-century ideologies. Initially led by white urban elites--whose early efforts discriminated against the lower class and were often tied up with slavery and the appropriation of Native lands--the movement benefited from contributions to policy making, knowledge about the environment, and activism by the poor and working class, people of color, women, and Native Americans. Far-ranging and nuanced, \u003ci\u003eThe Rise of the American Conservation Movement\u003c\/i\u003e comprehensively documents the movement's competing motivations, conflicts, problematic practices, and achievements in new ways.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46495710150807,"sku":"9780822361985","price":3491.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780822361985.webp?v=1769177402","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-rise-of-the-american-conservation-movement-power-privilege-and-environmental-protection-9780822361985","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
