The Department of the Interior was created in 1849 as the U.S. was rapidly expanding and acquiring territory.

Emily Wakild: Many of these lands are open for multiple uses, including energy development, mining, logging, livestock grazing and recreation.

She says the Interior secretary’s main job is to promote thoughtful planning that balances resource development and conservation.

Many conservation groups and outdoor sporting organizations oppose transferring federal lands to the states.

Secretary of Interior can send important signals about which way an administration tilts.

The department’s Bureau of Indian Affairs , created in 1824 , works with 574 federally recognized tribes with more than 2 million enrolled members.

Growing interest in outdoor recreation and the rise of remote work are putting new pressure on public lands.
