This program aims to increase the effectiveness of resource management by supporting research that informs effective decision-making for BLMs National Conservation Lands and the purposes for which they were designated, while furthering the administrations priorities. National Conservation Lands protect more than 34 million acres, recognized for outstanding conservation values and designated for special management by Acts of Congress or Presidential Proclamations. The BLM manages these special areas to maintain and enhance their conservation values with the goal to conserve, protect, and restore these important landscapes and their outstanding cultural, ecological, and scientific values. The National Conservation Lands protect a myriad of rare species, diverse habitats and ecosystems, historic properties, and cultural resources.

More than one-fourth of all recreation on BLM lands occur on National Conservation Lands. They provide opportunities for recreationists of all kinds, such as white-water rafters, rock climbers, hunters, fishermen, hikers, skiers, and off-highway vehicle riders. The BLM manages units that include over 2,700 recreation sites and 22 visitor centers, and serve approximately 14 million visitors annually. The National Conservation Lands include the following unit designations: National Monuments and National Conservation Areas; Wilderness/Wilderness Study Areas; National Wild and Scenic Rivers; National Scenic and Historic Trails; and California Desert National Conservation Lands
