The Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act (H.R. 980)
...the kind of vision that keeps wild hearts pumping
NREPA at a glance:
Designates as wilderness 24 million acres of ecosystems and watersheds in the Northern Rockies;
Connects natural, biological corridors, ensuring the continued existence of native plants and animals and mitigating the effects of global warming;
Restores habitat that has been severely damaged from roads that were built, and creates more than 2,300 jobs and leading to a more sustainable economic base in the region;
Keeps water available for ranchers and farmers downstream until it is most needed; and
Eliminates subsidized development in the designated of 24 million acres of new wilderness areas, saving taxpayers $245 million over a 10-year period.
