Management in the States of Idaho, Montana, Or-
egon, Washington, and Wyoming possess out-
standing natural characteristics which give them 
high values as wilderness, parks, and wild and scenic 
rivers and will, if properly preserved, be an enduring 
resource of wilderness, wild land areas, and biodiver-
sity for the benefit of the American people.

the most diverse array of wild lands remaining south 
of Canada, providing sanctuary for a host of species

4(c) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 
U.S.C. 1533(c)). These national interest public lands 
are among the most popular wild lands in the 
United States, embracing greater ecosystems and 
national treasures such as the Greater Yellowstone, 
Greater Glacier/Northern Continental Divide, Great-
er Hells Canyon/Wallowa, Greater Salmon/Selway, 
and Greater Cabinet/Yaak/Selkirk ecosystems. 
(3) The natural ecosystems in the Northern 
Rockies Bioregion are largely dependent on National 
Forest System lands, National Park System lands, 
and public lands administered by the Bureau of 
Land Management, and the ecological productivity 
and diversity of resources these Federal public lands 
provide. Conservation of roadless areas on these 
public lands, which produces clean water, protects 
native fisheries and native flora and fauna, and pro-
vides scenic and recreational qualities, also preserves 
options for sustainable economics through activities 
such as hunting, fishing, and wilderness-based recre-
ation.

tems, including the Columbia, Snake, Green, Mis-
souri and Saskatchewan Rivers, originate in the
