WASHINGTON, D.C. —  The bipartisan confirmation of former North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum to lead the Department of the Interior provides an opportunity for collaborative, balanced, and responsible stewardship of our nation’s public lands and waters. 

“The National Wildlife Federation congratulates Secretary Doug Burgum on his confirmation and looks forward to working with him collaboratively on stewarding 皇冠体育app官网平台’s lands and waters so wildlife can thrive, rural communities prosper, and all 皇冠体育app官网平台ns can enjoy opportunities for hunting, fishing, hiking, and other outdoor recreation,” said Collin O’Mara, president and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation. “At his confirmation hearing, Secretary Burgum made clear that he understands the importance of a balanced and collaborative approach in responsibly managing public lands for multiple uses, including wildlife conservation and outdoor recreation, and the Department’s obligations to uphold Tribal treaty rights and sovereignty.  Now more than ever, our nation is depending on Secretary Burgum’s leadership for science-driven wildlife recovery and management, habitat restoration that supports community resilience, appropriately-sited low-emission energy, and reductions in pollution through common-sense carbon and methane management so that our lands and waters flourish for generations to come.”
