Back then when peoples lives and homes were at stake from flooding they took a far more practical view of such things IMHO.
I wonder what would happen now if a TVA or Hoover Dam size project were proposed to benefit a huge amount of people at the stake of losing some special cricket or rare crawdad?
I guess I can answer that question myself....
