大自然保护协会向罗斯福总统图书馆移交历史悠久的马耳他十字烙印注册权
北达科他州比林斯县梅多拉市消息，大自然保护协会与西奥多·罗斯福总统图书馆10月26日宣布，前者把与罗斯福在北达科他州牧场岁月相关的历史悠久的马耳他十字牲畜烙印注册权移交给图书馆。这批移交内容包括罗斯福三项原始马耳他十字烙印注册中的一项，以及另外32项相关历史注册，图书馆今后将负责保管。这批注册权的历史可追溯至罗斯福在北达科他州的牧场岁月。移交时间选在罗斯福10月27日生日之前。马耳他十字是罗斯福牧场岁月最具辨识度的标志之一，他在北达科他州荒地打猎与经营牧场的经历，塑造了他后来任总统期间保护美国土地、水源与野生动物的保育理念。大自然保护协会表示，这批烙印注册连接着那段塑造罗斯福保育视野的岁月，提醒人们土地保育在今天依然与一个多世纪前同样重要。
The Nature Conservancy transfers historic Maltese Cross brand registrations to Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library
Medora, Billings County, North Dakota — The Nature Conservancy and the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library announced on Oct. 26 that the Conservancy has transferred to the library the historic Maltese Cross livestock brand registrations tied to Roosevelt's North Dakota ranch years. The transfer includes one of Roosevelt's three original Maltese Cross brand registrations, plus 32 other related historic registrations, which the library will now steward. The registrations' history traces back to Roosevelt's ranching years in North Dakota. The transfer was timed just before Roosevelt's Oct. 27 birthday. The Maltese Cross is one of the most recognizable symbols of Roosevelt's ranch years; his experience hunting and ranching in the North Dakota badlands shaped the conservation philosophy of his presidency, protecting America's lands, waters and wildlife. The Nature Conservancy said these brand registrations connect to the years that shaped Roosevelt's conservation vision and remind people that land conservation matters as much today as it did more than a century ago.
