TITLE II—BIOLOGICAL 
CONNECTING CORRIDORS 
SEC. 201. FINDINGS. 
The Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The most recent scientific information on 
ecological reserve design and function, including re-
cent scientific information on species dispersal in re-
sponse to a changing climate, points out the critical 
need for biological connecting corridors between the 
larger core ecosystem areas. 
(2) While none of the remaining major wild 
land ecosystems of the Northern Rockies Bioregion 
appears to be of sufficient size to perpetuate the full 
complement of self-sustaining viable populations of 
native wildlife, biological diversity, and full range of 
ecological processes on its own, it appears that an 
effective reserve system can be achieved if biological

connecting corridors between the ecosystems are 
identified and protected. 
(3) The wild land areas addressed by this title 
are located between the major core ecosystems of the 
region and are essential for wildlife and plant migra-
tion and genetic interchange. 
(4) These areas are some of the most beautiful 
and wild mountain ranges in the United States, in-
cluding the Bitterroot, Sapphire, Lost River, Lemhi, 
and Bridger mountain ranges. 
SEC. 202. DESIGNATION OF BIOLOGICAL CONNECTING COR-
RIDORS. 
(a) DESIGNATION.—To protect the life flow of the 
Northern Rockies Bioregion, the areas described in this
