Created in 1 849, the Department of the Interior—America's Department
of Natural Resources—is concerned with the management, conservation,
and development of the Nation's water, wildlife, mineral, forest, and park
and recreational resources. It also has major responsibilities for Indian
and Territorial affairs. 
 
 As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department works to assure
that nonrenewable resources are developed and used wisely, that parks and
recreational resources are conserved 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.
