January 15, 2025 – Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland delivered remarks during a program at the Department of the Interior to celebrate the historic and enduring progress achieved during her term.
Over the past four years, the Department has made unprecedented progress for our shared public lands, waters, wildlife and the communities they sustain. Under Secretary Haaland and Acting Deputy Secretary Laura Daniel-Davis’s leadership, the Department has taken bold action to protect sacred spaces, lands, waters and wildlife, and has forever changed what it means to honor the nation-to-nation relationship with Tribes. The Department and its bureaus have expanded what support for locally led conservation and restoration looks like. Through collaborative work, dedicated public servants have unleashed the science and advanced a clean energy economy that will power millions of homes and businesses across the country. The Department has invested billions of dollars into critical infrastructure projects and in communities that have been historically marginalized.
