Wilderness Society praises Salazar for coordinated Interior Department response on climate

The Wilderness Society praised Salazar’s vision in creating the coordinated approach, and called for other land-management agencies such as the Forest Service, Department of Defense, and Department of Energy to follow his lead in addressing the current and future impacts of global warming.
