Reply to comment by Guardax in TIL Jimmy Carter signed the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, the single largest expansion of protected lands in history which more than doubled the size of the National Parks System by Guardax

I never knew this.

Thanks for informing us of this great, great accomplishment.

For both better and worse that was a characteristic part of his presidency in general. Carter was a micro manager that kept his eyes on a lot of details.

The ANIL conservation act is my favorite accomplishment by Carter.
