The Senate today confirmed Deb Haaland to lead the Department of the Interior. Haaland is the first Native American to hold a cabinet position.
Haaland’s lived experiences are critical to reorienting Interior toward people, Indigenous rights, and climate-focused, science-based conservation. We look forward to seeing our country’s lands and waters integrated with efforts to increase outdoors equity, mitigate climate impacts by protecting 30 percent of lands and water by 2030, and foster healthier communities.Chris Hill, acting director of the Sierra Club’s Our Wild America campaign
The Department of the Interior manages the country’s national parks and approximately 450 million acres of public lands, oversees wildlife and other conservation efforts, and upholds federal trust responsibilities to Indigenous communities.
