Congress finds that— 2

land administered by the Bureau of Land Manage-5
ment in the States of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, 6
Washington, and Wyoming (referred to in this sec-7
tion as ‘‘public land’’)— 8
(A) possess outstanding natural character-9
istics that give the areas value as wildernesses, 10
parks, or wild and scenic rivers; and 11
(B) if properly preserved, will be an endur-12
ing resource as wildernesses and wildland areas 13

SEC. 201. FINDINGS. 3

this Act— 5
(1) the most recent scientific information on ec-6
ological reserve design and function, including recent 7
scientific information on species dispersal in re-8
sponse to a changing climate, points out the critical 9
need for biological connecting corridors between the 10
larger core ecosystem areas; 11
(2) while none of the remaining major wildland 12
ecosystems of the Northern Rockies Bioregion ap-13
pears to be of sufficient size to perpetuate the full 14
complement of self-sustaining viable populations of 15
native wildlife, biological diversity, and full range of 16
ecological processes on its own, it appears that an 17
effective reserve system can be achieved if biological 18
connecting corridors between the ecosystems are 19
identified and protected; 20
(3) the wildland areas addressed by this title 21
are located between the major core ecosystems of the 22
region and are essential for wildlife and plant migra-23
tion and genetic interchange; and 24
