As the nation's principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has
responsibility for most of our nationally owned public lands and natural and cultural
resources. This includes fostering wise use of our land and water resources, protecting
our fish and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks
and historical places, and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation.
The department assesses our energy and mineral resources and works to ensure that
their development is in the best interests of all our people. The department also promotes
the goals of the Take Pride in America campaign by encouraging stewardship and citizen
responsibility for the public lands and promoting citizen participation in their care. The
department also has a major responsibility for American Indian reservation communities
and for people who live in island territories under U.S. administration. NPS D-21 a
