U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 



FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE 



As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has respon- 

 sibility for most of our nationally owned public lands and natural resources. This includes 

 fostering the wisest 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 assure that their development is in the best 

 interests of all our people. The Department also has a major responsibility for American 

 Indian reservation communities and for people who live in island territories under U.S. 

 administration.
