Wasn't it a hunter named teddy who started the national park system?

You are right on which president started it.But even before his first year in college, Aldo had these idea's that people vastly disagreed with, but he shared them regardless because he felt in his heart was the best option for how things were going(he saw how things were gonna turn out. a man before his time). And yes, he was for predator management. I didn't dispute that. Sand County Almenac is a favorite book of mine.
NPS were started because people like Leopold and others knew that if they didn't do something, the logging industry was gonna have their hands on all the forests and we would never have what we know as 'wild' life. If that had happened, hunting would have been terminated long ago and we would be seriously fuked beyond all hope. We truly would have become another England.
