Created in 1849, the Department of the Interior--a depart­ment of conservation--is concerned with the management, conservation, and development of the Nation's water, fish, 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 park 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.
