- The U.S. Department of the Interior manages one of every five acres of land in
the United States, providing opportunities for wilderness, wildlife protection,
recreation, and resource development. They supply water for much of the west so
that farmers can grow food and people can turn on their taps. They provide
access to energy and minerals so that people can warm and cool their homes, and
drive to their jobs. They honor American Indians, Alaska Natives, and
affiliated Island communities, and protect wildlife and improve the
environment.
