# Analysis of "Save What Is Left of the Forests" This page discusses President Roosevelt's conservation efforts, specifically his plan to convene governors to discuss protecting America's forests and natural resources. The article praises Roosevelt's commitment to forest preservation and mentions his support from predecessors Cleveland and McKinley, as well as current officials like Gifford Pinchot (Forester of the Agricultural Department). The four cartoon panels on the right appear to depict a formal White House event—likely the governors' conference itself—showing dignitaries arriving, meeting, and culminating in "unveiling the statue" (the final panel). The cartoons seem to humorously document this significant conservation meeting, suggesting the event's importance through the formal ceremony depicted.
