Interior's mission is to protect and manage the Nation's natural resources and cultural heritage; provide scientific and other information about those resources; and to honor our trust responsibilities or special commitments to American Indians, Alaska Natives and affiliated Island Communities. We are committed to a collaborative approach to conservation. The more we can empower people as stewards of the land, the more effective we can be in our conservation mission.

Interior is building a partnership-based approach to stewardship. As Secretary Kempthorne said at the Spokane Listening Session on August 9, 2006, "We have many partners at the State and the local level and the tribal level who care deeply about the environment and the land on which we all live. Without the help of these citizen stewards, we could not possibly achieve our conservation goals."
