1 SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 

2 The Congress makes the following findings: 

3 (1) Many areas of undeveloped National Forest 

4 System lands, National Park System lands, and 

5 public lands administered by the Bureau of Land 

6 Management in the States of Idaho, Montana, Or7 egon, Washington, and Wyoming possess out8 standing natural characteristics which give them 

9 high values as wilderness, parks, and wild and scenic 

10 rivers and will, if properly preserved, be an enduring 

11 resource of wilderness, wild land areas, and biodiver12 sity for the benefit of the American people. 

13 (2) The Northern Rockies Bioregion contains 

14 the most diverse array of wild lands remaining south 

15 of Canada, providing sanctuary for a host of species 

16 listed as threatened or endangered under section 

17 4(c) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 

18 U.S.C. 1533(c)). These national interest public lands 

19 are among the most popular wild lands in the 

20 United States, embracing greater ecosystems and 

21 national treasures such as the Greater Yellowstone,

•HR 2135 IH

1 Greater Glacier/Northern Continental Divide, Great2 er Hells Canyon/Wallowa, Greater Salmon/Selway, 

3 and Greater Cabinet/Yaak/Selkirk ecosystems. 

4 (3) The natural ecosystems in the Northern 

5 Rockies Bioregion are largely dependent on National 

6 Forest System lands, National Park System lands, 

7 and public lands administered by the Bureau of 

8 Land Management, and the ecological productivity 

9 and diversity of resources these Federal public lands 

10 provide. Conservation of roadless areas on these 

11 public lands, which produces clean water, protects 

12 native fisheries and native flora and fauna, and pro13 vides scenic and recreational qualities, also preserves 

14 options for sustainable economics through activities 

15 such as hunting, fishing, and wilderness-based recre16 ation. 

17 (4) The headwaters of several major river sys18 tems, including the Columbia, Snake, Green, Mis19 souri and Saskatchewan Rivers, originate in the 

20 Northern Rockies Bioregion, and these rivers send 

21 their waters to three different oceans. These waters 

22 are of tremendous economic importance to farming 

23 and ranching operations, municipal water supplies, 

24 and water-based recreation, including fishing and 

25 boating. Protection of this world class water reVerDate Sep 11 2014 00:12 Apr 27, 2017 Jkt 069200 PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 E:\BILLS\H2135.IH H2135

1 source will enhance these uses, reduce costs for 

2 water treatment and irrigation, and increase native 

3 fish populations. 

4 (5) The wildlife treasures of the Northern 

5 Rockies are of international significance and contain 

6 remarkably intact large mammalian fauna and rare 

7 and unique plant life. Wildlife habitat fragmentation 

8 due to roadbuilding, timber harvest, mining, oil and 

9 gas exploration, lack of interagency cooperation, and 

10 other activities has severe effects on the wildlife pop11 ulations (including those listed as threatened or en12 dangered under section 4(c) of the Endangered Spe13 cies Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533(c))) and their 

14 habitat, the water quality, the ancient forests, and 

15 the greater ecosystems of the Northern Rockies Bio16 region. The overemphasis on resource extraction 

17 from National Forest System lands and public lands 

18 administered by the Bureau of Land Management 

19 has compromised ecosystem integrity and detracted 

20 from economic diversification opportunities. Eco21 nomic instability and high unemployment in rural, 

22 resource-dependent communities is a common result 

23 of overexploitation of these lands. 

24 (6) Continued fragmentation and development 

25 of the remaining roadless and essentially roadless

•HR 2135 IH

1 ecosystems and biological connectors of the Northern 

2 Rockies would cause a loss to the Nation of an en3 tire wild land region and of the only remaining areas 

4 south of Canada still pristine enough to support 

5 populations of caribou, gray wolves, grizzly bears, 

6 anadromous fish, and numerous other rare and en7 dangered plant and animal life all in one intact bio8 region. 

9 (7) Since the 1936 roadless area inventory com10 pleted by Bob Marshall, millions of acres of roadless 

11 wild lands have been developed in the Northern 

12 Rockies. Extensive fragmentation of wild lands and 

13 wildlife habitat has resulted in the listing of several 

14 species as threatened or endangered and reduced the 

15 numbers and range of many others, including anad16 romous fish. 

17 (8) The natural ecosystems of the Northern 

18 Rockies Bioregion also serve as educational and re19 search centers for on-site studies in biology, geology, 

20 astronomy and other sciences. The pristine nature of 

21 the National Forest System lands, National Park 

22 System lands, and public lands administered by the 

23 Bureau of Land Management in the Northern Rock24 ies Bioregion helps local communities attract new 


lotter on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
7 

•HR 2135 IH

1 residents and businesses based on local quality of 

2 life. 

3 (9) A review of the current situation in the 

4 Northern Rockies has revealed the urgent need for 

5 an ecological reserve system for the Northern Rock6 ies Bioregion, which includes core ecosystem reserve 

7 areas and biological connecting corridors necessary 

8 to ensure wildlife movements and genetic inter9 change between the core reserve areas. Wildlife free10 dom of movement has always been essential to the 

11 survival of wildlife species, and an increasing num12 ber of scientific studies have identified movement 

13 corridors as a necessity for wildlife conservation in 

14 a changing climate. Several foreign governments, in15 cluding the governments of Australia and Scotland, 

16 have announced plans for corridors that would make 

17 wildlife movement possible as climate pressures in18 crease. The concept of connective corridors for wild19 life movement has been endorsed by governors of 

20 States in the western United States, and is now 

21 widely recognized by conservation and scientific or22 ganizations. For example, freedom of movement for 

23 wildlife is basic to the emerging new science of 

24 ‘‘Movement Ecology’’ described in a December 2008 

25 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

•HR 2135 IH

1 This freedom of wildlife movement was a funda2 mental reason for the Act’s development and intro3 duction, and has become an increasingly high profile 

4 issue in the climate and biological sciences. 

5 (10) The economic value to the Nation of most 

6 of these undeveloped areas, left in their natural 

7 state, greatly exceeds any potential return to the 

8 Treasury of the United States from timber harvest 

9 and development. If current Federal land manage10 ment in the Northern Rockies continues to result in 

11 the development of roadless areas, the American 

12 public will be using its tax dollars to fund perma13 nent reductions in wilderness, water quality, fish and 

14 wildlife habitat, and species and biological diversity. 

15 (11) Instead, this Act provides opportunities for 

16 employment in outdoor trades by establishing reha17 bilitation zones on specific tracts of damaged Fed18 eral land where active restoration work will occur. 

19 This Act will provide contracts for local businesses 

20 and renew the intrinsic economic, social and cultural 

21 benefits that result from productive land. Federal 

22 land rehabilitation projects represent a direct benefit 

23 to the local economy and reduce the loss to Amer24 ican taxpayers caused by below-cost timber sales and 

25 other subsidized resource extraction.

1 (12) The congressional review of roadless areas 

2 within the National Forest System, National Park 

3 System, and public lands administered by the Bu4 reau of Land Management in the States of Idaho, 

5 Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming has 

6 identified areas which, on the basis of their land 

7 form, ecosystem, associated fish and wildlife, eco8 nomic value, and location will help to fulfill the role 

9 of the United States Forest Service, National Park 

10 Service, and Bureau of Land Management to ensure 

11 a quality National Wilderness Preservation System. 

12 The review has identified other areas which may 

13 have outstanding values as wild and scenic rivers. 

14 The review has also identified areas which may not 

15 possess outstanding wilderness attributes and should 

16 not now be designated as components of the Na17 tional Wilderness Preservation System, but which 

18 should be studied to determine their role in main19 taining biological diversity in the Northern Rockies. 

20 (13) Many areas of National Forest System 

21 lands and public lands administered by the Bureau 

22 of Land Management have been damaged and their 

23 productivity reduced by unwise development prac24 tices, which have also impaired ecosystem function

2 clear-cut areas right up to the park boundary. Ef3 forts should be made to return these areas to their 

4 former ecological health and native diversity. These 

5 efforts should seek to ensure that vital ecosystem 

6 components are restored, especially in areas where 

7 wildlife travel corridors and native fish and wildlife 

8 populations have been damaged or eliminated. Res9 toration efforts should seek to ensure and maintain 

10 genetic interchange, biological diversity, and restora11 tion of native species diversity throughout the 

12 Northern Rockies Bioregion. 

13 (14) Backcountry areas of the National Park 

14 System have been damaged by inappropriate man15 agement, despite policies that require that rec16 ommended wilderness be administered as wilderness. 

17 An emphasis on structures and motorized equip18 ment, and in some instances developed 

19 ‘‘backcountry’’ campsites, have all detracted from

15 TITLE II—BIOLOGICAL 

16 CONNECTING CORRIDORS 

17 SEC. 201. FINDINGS. 

18 The Congress makes the following findings: 

19 (1) The most recent scientific information on 

20 ecological reserve design and function, including re21 cent scientific information on species dispersal in re22 sponse to a changing climate, points out the critical 

23 need for biological connecting corridors between the 

24 larger core ecosystem areas.

152 

•HR 2135 IH

1 (2) While none of the remaining major wild 

2 land ecosystems of the Northern Rockies Bioregion 

3 appears 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. 

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. 

18 SEC. 202. DESIGNATION OF BIOLOGICAL CONNECTING COR19 RIDORS.
