第一批美国国家森林的建立（1891年） The Creation of the First American National Forests (1891) dì yī pī měiguó guójiā sēnlín de jiànlì (1891 nián)

Content Introduction

中文

1891年，美国政府设立了第一个国家森林，这是美国环境保护史上的一个里程碑。在19世纪末，美国经历了大规模的西部扩张，伴随着资源的过度开采和森林的破坏。为了应对日益严重的生态问题，以及民众对环境保护日益增长的呼声，当时的总统本杰明·哈里森签署了《创建国家森林保护区法案》。这一法案允许总统从公共土地中划出森林保护区，用于保护森林资源和野生动植物。这项立法标志着美国对自然资源管理理念的转变，从单纯的开发利用转向了可持续发展的道路。最初设立的国家森林规模相对较小，但其象征意义重大，它为后来的国家公园体系的建立和更为广泛的环境保护运动奠定了基础，也标志着美国环境保护意识的觉醒。这项法案的通过，不仅保护了珍贵的森林资源，也为美国的环境保护事业树立了榜样，影响深远。

English

In 1891, the establishment of the first national forests in the United States marked a milestone in the history of American environmental protection. At the end of the 19th century, the United States experienced large-scale westward expansion, accompanied by overexploitation of resources and deforestation. To address the increasingly serious ecological problems and the growing public demand for environmental protection, then-President Benjamin Harrison signed the "Creation of National Forest Reserve Act". This act allowed the president to set aside forest reserves from public lands for the protection of forest resources and wildlife. This legislation marked a turning point in the American concept of natural resource management, shifting from mere exploitation to a path of sustainable development. The initially established national forests were relatively small in scale, but their symbolic significance was profound. They laid the foundation for the later establishment of the national park system and broader environmental protection movements. It signified a growing environmental awareness in the United States. The passage of this act not only protected precious forest resources but also set a precedent for American environmental protection efforts, with far-reaching consequences.
