1 SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 

2 Congress finds that— 

3 (1) many areas of undeveloped National Forest 

4 System land, National Park System land, and public 

5 land administered by the Bureau of Land Manage6 ment in the States of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, 

7 Washington, and Wyoming (referred to in this sec8 tion as ‘‘public land’’)— 

9 (A) possess outstanding natural character10 istics that give the areas value as wildernesses, 

11 parks, or wild and scenic rivers; and 

12 (B) if properly preserved, will be an endur13 ing resource as wildernesses and wildland areas 

14 and of biodiversity for the benefit of the people 

15 of the United States; 

16 (2) the Northern Rockies Bioregion— 

17 (A) contains the most diverse array of 

18 wildland that remains in the United States 

19 south of Canada; 

20 (B) provides a sanctuary for species listed 

21 as threatened or endangered under the Endan22 gered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et 

23 seq.);

1 (C) is national interest public land that is 

2 among the most popular wildland in the United 

3 States; and 

4 (D) embraces greater ecosystems and na5 tional treasures such as the Greater Yellow6 stone, Greater Glacier/Northern Continental Di7 vide, Greater Hells Canyon/Wallowa, Greater 

8 Salmon/Selway, and Greater Cabinet/Yaak/Sel9 kirk ecosystems; 

10 (3) the natural ecosystems in the Northern 

11 Rockies Bioregion are largely dependent on— 

12 (A) public land; and 

13 (B) the ecological productivity and diver14 sity of resources on public land; 

15 (4) conservation of roadless areas on public 

16 land— 

17 (A) produces clean water; 

18 (B) protects native fisheries and native 

19 flora and fauna; 

20 (C) provides scenic and recreational quali21 ties; and 

22 (D) preserves options for sustainable eco23 nomics through activities such as hunting, fish24 ing, and wilderness-based recreation;

•S 936 IS

1 (5) the headwaters of several major river sys2 tems, including the Columbia, Snake, Green, Mis3 souri, and Saskatchewan Rivers, are in the Northern 

4 Rockies Bioregion, and the water of those rivers— 

5 (A) flows to 3 oceans; 

6 (B) is of economic importance to farming 

7 and ranching operations, municipal water sup8 plies, and water-based recreation, including 

9 fishing and boating; and 

10 (C) if protected, will enhance the uses de11 scribed in subparagraph (B), reduce costs for 

12 water treatment and irrigation, and increase 

13 native fish populations; 

14 (6) the wildlife treasures of the Northern Rock15 ies Bioregion are of international significance and 

16 contain intact, large mammalian fauna and rare and 

17 unique plant life; 

18 (7) wildlife habitat fragmentation due to road 

19 building, timber harvesting, mining, oil and gas ex20 ploration, lack of interagency cooperation, and other 

21 activities has severe effects on— 

22 (A) the wildlife populations of the North23 ern Rockies Bioregion (including populations of 

24 species listed as threatened or endangered 

25 under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16

2 wildlife; and 

3 (B) the water quality, ancient forests, and 

4 greater ecosystems of the Northern Rockies 

5 Bioregion; 

6 (8) the overemphasis on resource extraction 

7 from public land has— 

8 (A) compromised ecosystem integrity and 

9 detracted from economic diversification oppor10 tunities; and 

11 (B) resulted in economic instability and 

12 high unemployment in rural, resource-depend13 ent communities; 

14 (9) the fragmentation and development of the 

15 remaining roadless and essentially roadless eco16 systems and biological connectors of the Northern 

17 Rockies Bioregion would cause a loss to the United 

18 States of— 

19 (A) an entire wildland region; and 

20 (B) the only remaining area in the United 

21 States south of Canada that can support popu22 lations of caribou, gray wolves, grizzly bears, 

23 anadromous fish, and other rare or endangered 

24 plant or animal life in 1 intact bioregion;

1 (10) since the completion of the 1936 roadless 

2 area inventory by Bob Marshall, millions of acres of 

3 roadless wildland have been developed in the North4 ern Rockies Bioregion; 

5 (11) extensive fragmentation of wildland and 

6 wildlife habitat has— 

7 (A) resulted in the listing of several species 

8 as threatened or endangered under the Endan9 gered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et 

10 seq.); and 

11 (B) reduced the number and range of 

12 other species, including anadromous fish; 

13 (12) the natural ecosystems of the Northern 

14 Rockies Bioregion serve as educational and research 

15 centers for onsite studies in biology, geology, astron16 omy, and other sciences; 

17 (13) the pristine nature of public land helps 

18 local communities attract new residents and busi19 nesses based on local quality of life; 

20 (14) a review of the situation in the Northern 

21 Rockies Bioregion as of the date of enactment of 

22 this Act has revealed the urgent need for an ecologi23 cal reserve system for the Northern Rockies Bio24 region that includes core ecosystem reserve areas

3 (15) wildlife freedom of movement is essential 

4 to the survival of wildlife species, and a number of 

5 scientific studies have identified movement corridors 

6 as necessary for wildlife conservation in a changing 

7 climate; 

8 (16) several foreign governments, including the 

9 governments of Australia and Scotland, have an10 nounced plans for corridors that would make wildlife 

11 movement possible as climate pressures increase; 

12 (17) the concept of connective corridors for 

13 wildlife movement— 

14 (A) has been endorsed by the Governors of 

15 States in the western United States; and 

16 (B) is recognized by conservation and sci17 entific organizations, such as the National 

18 Academy of Sciences, which, in 2008, described 

19 freedom of movement for wildlife as basic to the 

20 emerging new science of movement ecology; 

21 (18) freedom of wildlife movement— 

22 (A) was a fundamental reason for the de23 velopment and introduction of this Act; and 

24 (B) has become an increasingly high-pro25 file issue in the climate and biological sciences;

1 (19) the economic value to the United States of 

2 most of the public land, left in its natural state, ex3 ceeds any potential return to the Treasury of the

5 (20) if Federal land management in the North6 ern Rockies Bioregion continues to result in develop7 ment in roadless areas, the Federal Government will 

8 be using tax revenues to fund permanent reductions 

9 in wilderness, water quality, fish and wildlife habi10 tat, species, and biological diversity; 

11 (21) this Act— 

12 (A) provides opportunities for employment 

13 in outdoor trades by establishing rehabilitation 

14 zones on specific tracts of damaged Federal 

15 land where active restoration work will occur; 

16 (B) will provide contracts for local busi17 nesses; and

16 CONNECTING CORRIDORS 

17 SEC. 201. FINDINGS. 

18 The Congress finds that, as of the date of enactment 

19 of this Act— 

20 (1) the most recent scientific information on ec21 ological reserve design and function, including recent 

22 scientific information on species dispersal in re23 sponse to a changing climate, points out the critical 

24 need for biological connecting corridors between the 

25 larger core ecosystem areas;

•S 936 IS

1 (2) while none of the remaining major wild land 

2 ecosystems of the Northern Rockies Bioregion ap3 pears to be of sufficient size to perpetuate the full 

4 complement of self-sustaining viable populations of 

5 native wildlife, biological diversity, and full range of 

6 ecological processes on its own, it appears that an 

7 effective reserve system can be achieved if biological 

8 connecting corridors between the ecosystems are 

9 identified and protected; 

10 (3) the wild land areas addressed by this title 

11 are located between the major core ecosystems of the 

12 region and are essential for wildlife and plant migra13 tion and genetic interchange; and 

14 (4) these areas are some of the most beautiful 

15 and wild mountain ranges in the United States, in16 cluding the Bitterroot, Sapphire, Lost River, Lemhi, 

17 and Bridger mountain ranges.
