Abstract:

The Bureau of Land management (BLM) is part of the US Department of the Interior (DOI). It is the mission of the BLM to sustain the health, diversity and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The BLM is responsible for the total management of more than 270 million acres of public lands. In addition to minerals management responsibilities on the public lands, the Bureau is also responsible for subsurface resource management of an additional 300 million acres where mineral rights are owned by the Federal Government.

          The BLM administers public lands within a framework of numerous laws, the most comprehensive of which is the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA). The BLM is taking a "big picture" or ecosystem approach to land management. This style of management is aimed at promoting biological diversity (nature's variety of life forms and processes) and sustainable development (the long-term use of natural resources without damaging the environment). This "big picture" type of management is consistent with the BLM's mandate under the FLPMA, which requires the agency to manage in a way that accommodates many uses of the land -- such as fishing, camping, hiking, boating, grazing, timber harvesting and mining.
