SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
(1) many areas of undeveloped National Forest System land,
National Park System land, and public land administered by the
Bureau of Land Management in the States of Idaho, Montana,
Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming (referred to in this section as
``public land'')--
(A) possess outstanding natural characteristics
that give the areas value as wildernesses, parks, or
wild and scenic rivers; and
(B) if properly preserved, will be an enduring
resource as wildernesses and wildland areas and of
biodiversity for the benefit of the people of the
United States;
(2) the Northern Rockies Bioregion--
(A) contains the most diverse array of wildland
that remains in the United States south of Canada;
(B) provides a sanctuary for species listed as
threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species
Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.);
(C) is national interest public land that is among
the most popular wildland in the United States; and
(D) embraces greater ecosystems and national
treasures such as the Greater Yellowstone, Greater
Glacier/Northern Continental Divide, Greater 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--
(A) public land; and
(B) the ecological productivity and diversity of
resources on public land;
(4) conservation of roadless areas on public land--
(A) produces clean water;
(B) protects native fisheries and native flora and
fauna;
(C) provides scenic and recreational qualities; and
(D) preserves options for sustainable economics
through activities such as hunting, fishing, and
wilderness-based recreation;
(5) the headwaters of several major river systems,
including the Columbia, Snake, Green, Missouri, and
Saskatchewan Rivers, are in the Northern Rockies Bioregion and
the water of those rivers--
(A) flows to 3 oceans;
(B) is of economic importance to farming and
ranching operations, municipal water supplies, and
water-based recreation, including fishing and boating;
and
(C) if protected, will enhance the uses described
in subparagraph (B), reduce costs for water treatment
and irrigation, and increase native fish populations;
(6) the wildlife treasures of the Northern Rockies
Bioregion are of international significance and contain intact,
large mammalian fauna and rare and unique plant life;
(7) wildlife habitat fragmentation due to road building,
timber harvesting, mining, oil and gas exploration, lack of
interagency cooperation, and other activities has severe
effects on--
(A) the wildlife populations of the Northern
Rockies Bioregion (including populations of species
listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered
Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)) and the
habitats of the wildlife; and
(B) the water quality, ancient forests, and greater
ecosystems of the Northern Rockies Bioregion;
(8) the overemphasis on resource extraction from public
land has--
(A) compromised ecosystem integrity and detracted
from economic diversification opportunities; and
(B) resulted in economic instability and high
unemployment in rural, resource-dependent communities;
(9) the fragmentation and development of the remaining
roadless and essentially roadless ecosystems and biological
connectors of the Northern Rockies Bioregion would cause a loss
to the United States of--
(A) an entire wildland region; and
(B) the only remaining area in the United States
south of Canada that can support populations of gray
wolves, grizzly bears, anadromous fish, and other rare
or endangered plant or animal life in 1 intact
bioregion;
(10) since the completion of the 1936 roadless area
inventory by Bob Marshall, millions of acres of roadless
wildland have been developed in the Northern Rockies Bioregion;
(11) extensive fragmentation of wildland and wildlife
habitat has--
(A) resulted in the listing of several species as
threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species
Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.); and
(B) reduced the number and range of other species,
including anadromous fish;
(12) the natural ecosystems of the Northern Rockies
Bioregion serve as educational and research centers for onsite
studies in biology, geology, astronomy, and other sciences;
(13) the pristine nature of public land helps local
communities attract new residents and businesses based on local
quality of life;
(14) a review of the situation in the Northern Rockies
Bioregion as of the date of enactment of this Act has revealed
the urgent need for an ecological reserve system for the
Northern Rockies Bioregion that includes core ecosystem reserve
areas and biological connecting corridors necessary--
(A) to ensure wildlife movements and genetic
interchange between the core reserve areas; and
(B) to act as carbon reserves in a warming world;
(15) wildlife freedom of movement is essential to the
survival of wildlife species, and a number of scientific
studies have identified movement corridors as necessary for
wildlife conservation in a changing climate;
(16) several foreign governments, including the governments
of Australia and Scotland, have announced plans for corridors
that would make wildlife movement possible as climate pressures
increase;
(17) the concept of connective corridors for wildlife
movement--
(A) has been endorsed by the Governors of States in
the western United States; and
(B) is recognized by conservation and scientific
organizations, such as the National Academy of
Sciences, which, in 2008, described freedom of movement
for wildlife as basic to the emerging new science of
movement ecology;
(18) freedom of wildlife movement--
(A) was a fundamental reason for the development
and introduction of this Act; and
(B) has become an increasingly high-profile issue
in the climate and biological sciences;
(19) the economic value to the United States of most of the
public land, left in its natural state, exceeds any potential
return to the Treasury of the United States from timber harvest
and development;
(20) if Federal land management in the Northern Rockies
Bioregion continues to result in development in roadless areas,
the Federal Government will be using tax revenues to fund
permanent reductions in wilderness, water quality, fish and
wildlife habitat, species, and biological diversity;
(21) this Act--
(A) provides opportunities for employment in
outdoor trades by establishing rehabilitation zones on
specific tracts of damaged Federal land where active
restoration work will occur;
(B) will provide contracts for local businesses;
and
(C) will renew the intrinsic economic, social, and
cultural benefits that result from productive land;
(22) Federal land rehabilitation projects--
(A) have direct benefits to local economies; and
(B) reduce the loss to taxpayers in the United
States caused by below-cost timber sales and other
subsidized resource extraction;
(23) a congressional review of roadless areas within public
land identifies--
(A) areas that, on the basis of the land form,
ecosystem, associated fish and wildlife, economic
value, and location of the areas, will help to fulfill
the role of the Forest Service, National Park Service,
and Bureau of Land Management to ensure a quality
National Wilderness Preservation System;
(B) areas that may have value as wild and scenic
rivers; and
(C) areas that--
(i) may not possess wilderness attributes
and should not now be designated as components
of the National Wilderness Preservation System;
and
(ii) should be studied to determine the
role of the areas in maintaining biological
diversity in the Northern Rockies Bioregion;
(24) many areas of public land--
(A) have been damaged and experienced a reduction
in productivity due to unwise development practices,
which have also impaired ecosystem function and
biological diversity, such as the Island Park area
adjacent to Yellowstone National Park, which contains
large clear-cut areas that border the park boundary;
and
(B) should be returned to the former ecological
health and native diversity of the areas through
efforts--
(i) to ensure that vital ecosystem
components are restored, especially in areas in
which wildlife travel corridors and native fish
and wildlife populations have been damaged or
eliminated; and
(ii) to ensure and maintain genetic
interchange, biological diversity, and
restoration of native species diversity
throughout the Northern Rockies Bioregion;
(25) backcountry areas of the National Park System have
been damaged by inappropriate management, despite policies that
require that recommended wilderness be administered as
wilderness;
(26) an emphasis on structures and motorized equipment, and
in some instances developed backcountry campsites, in
backcountry areas of the National Park System has detracted
from and degraded the wilderness character of those backcountry
areas;
(27) Federal agencies entrusted with managing the natural
resources of the Northern Rockies Bioregion--
(A) operate under contradictory congressional
mandates; and
(B) are in dissension over management policies that
involve common resources and greater ecosystems;
(28) Federal agency structures and regulatory mechanisms as
of the date of enactment of this Act have proven unsatisfactory
for the responsible management of nationally important
ecosystems on public land;
(29) Federal laws and regulations as of the date of
enactment of this Act have not been sufficient to establish and
maintain the accountability of Federal agencies for public
resources; and
(30) this Act does not affect private existing rights.

TITLE II--BIOLOGICAL CONNECTING CORRIDORS
SEC. 201. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that, as of the date of enactment of this Act--
(1) the most recent scientific information on ecological
reserve design and function, including recent scientific
information on species dispersal in response 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 wildland 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 wildland areas addressed by this title are located
between the major core ecosystems of the region and are
essential for wildlife and plant migration and genetic
interchange; and
(4) those areas are some of the most beautiful and wild
mountain ranges in the United States, including the Bitterroot,
Sapphire, Lost River, Lemhi, and Bridger mountain ranges.
SEC. 202. DESIGNATION OF BIOLOGICAL CONNECTING CORRIDORS.
(a) Designation.--To protect the life flow of the Northern Rockies
Bioregion, the Federal land described in subsection (b)--
(1) is designated as biological connecting corridors that
connect the Greater Yellowstone, Greater Glacier/Northern
Continental Divide, Greater Hells Canyon, Greater Salmon/
Selway, and Greater Cabinet-Yaak-Selkirk ecosystems; and
(2) shall be subject to the special corridor management
requirements under section 203.
(b) Description of Federal Land.--The Federal land referred to in
subsection (a) is the approximately 2,900,000 acres of Federal land, as
generally depicted on the map entitled ``Northern Rockies Ecosystem
Protection Act (2023)'' and dated April 10, 2023, and administered by
the Forest Service or the Bureau of Land Management.
SEC. 203. TREATMENT OF BIOLOGICAL CONNECTING CORRIDORS.
(a) In General.--Those portions of the biological connecting
corridors designated by section 202 are designated as special corridor
management areas and shall be managed according to the Multiple-Use
Sustained-Yield Act of 1960 (16 U.S.C. 528 et seq.) and other
applicable laws and in accordance with subsection (b).
(b) Requirements.--
(1) Silvicultural management and timber harvesting.--The
practice of even-aged silvicultural management and timber
harvesting is prohibited within the special corridor management
areas.
(2) Mining, oil, gas, and roads.--Subject to valid existing
rights, mining, oil, and gas exploration and development and
new road construction or reconstruction is prohibited within
the special corridor management areas.
(3) Road density.--
(A) In general.--The Federal land management agency
responsible for the administration of a special
corridor management area or portion of a special
corridor management area shall act immediately to
ensure that road densities within the biological
connecting corridor approach, to the maximum extent
practicable, zero miles of road per square mile of land
area.
(B) Limitation.--The road density described in
subparagraph (A) shall not exceed 0.25 miles per square
mile, using the method known as the ``moving window''
method.

(a) Cooperative Agreements.--The Secretary of the Interior and the
Secretary of Agriculture shall seek to enter into cooperative
agreements with private, State, and corporate landowners and sovereign
Indian Tribes the land of which is adjacent to public land in the
biological connecting corridors designated under this title, if those
agreements would benefit the ecological integrity and function of the
designated corridors.
(b) Land Trades and Acquisitions.--The Secretary of Agriculture and
the Secretary of the Interior may undertake land trades or acquisitions
to carry out the purposes of this title if the Secretary concerned
considers the action to be--
