As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior (DOI) has responsibility for most of the nationally owned public lands and natural resources in the country. The mission of the DOI is to protect and provide access to our nation's natural and cultural heritage. This includes fostering sound use of our land and water resources; assessing and protecting our fish, wildlife, and biological diversity; and preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places. The Department assesses mineral resources and works to insure that their development is in the best interests of all people.
In accomplishing the mission, the Department is committed to: restoring and maintaining the health of federally managed lands, waters, and renewable resources; providing for appropriate commercial use and development of federally managed natural resources in an environmentally sound manner; encouraging the preservation of diverse plant and animal species and protecting habitat critical to their survival; advancing scientific research and monitoring to improve our understanding of the interactions of natural and human systems and to reduce the impacts of hazards caused by natural processes and human actions; and applying laws and regulations fairly and effectively, placing priority on compliance and enforcement, prevention and problem solving.
