The Department of the Interior, created in 1849, is a 

 Department of Conservation, concerned with management, conser- 

 vation, and development of the Nation's water, wildlife, fish, 

 mineral, forest, and park and recreational resources. It has 

 major responsibilities also for Indian and Territorial affairs. 



As America's principal conservation agency, the Department 

 works to assure that nonrenewable resources are developed and 

 used wisely, that park and recreational resources are con- 

 served for the future, and that renewable resources make their 

 full contribution to the progress, prosperity, and security of 

 the United States, now and in the future.
