The Department of the Interior, created in 1849, is our Nation's De- 
partment of Natural Resources, concerned with management, conservation, 
and development of water, wildlife, fish, mineral, forest, and park and 
recreational resources. It also has major responsibilities 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 conserved for the future, and that re- 
newable resources make their full contribution to the progress, prosperity, 
and security of the United States, now and in the future,
