The Emergency Conservation Committee highlights the importance of the Olympic Peninsula as a habitat for wildlife species and forests, including Roosevelt Elk and Douglas fir trees. It urges the expansion of the Olympic Peninsula National Monument to encompass all the terrain originally reserved for it, prior to President Woodrow Wilson reducing its size, and hopes that this expansion may serve as a prelude to further protections and the establishment of a national park.
