    Dept of Interior, please seriously consider these suggestions: I would really love to see the Dept. of Interior not only do these long videos containing vital information, but you to take the long vids and break them up topically. That way, the info will be entered and fit much better into the YT algorithm and provide accurate info to viewers - and also shorter videos are better received by audiences. Video titles that contain specific keywords are much more useful to audiences and the YT algorithms. Do shorter, more targeted vids containing valuable info about gains and support for: —Native American Communities —water conservation / watersheds —restoration projects for land, air, water (coal, oil, nuclear, electric, etc) — Bureau of Restoration —Fish & Wildlife Service —National Parks Service —Infrastructure Investment —Inflation Reduction Act —Strengthening the economy —specific projects in individual US states, including territories like the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam. For instance, this week’s video could easily be broken into shorter videos: Dept of Interior Projects | Powering the Future | Maryland | 6/14/2024 Dept of Interior Projects | Clean Energy Progress | Nevada | 6/14/2024 Dept of Interior Projects | Legacy Pollution | Texas Gulf of Mexico | 6/14/2024 Dept of Interior Projects | Clean Vessel Grants | US Wide | 6/14/2024 Dept of Interior Projects | Investing in America | US National Parks | 6/14/2024 Dept of Interior Projects | Social Media Picture of the Week | Gold Butte Nat.

    Why is this video not audio described in compliance with section 508 of the rehabilitation act of 1973. On the same video on your website, there is a button to click for audio descriptions but it does not work on this video because no one added the audio descriptions.

    Because almost all of the contiguous US States have their most "remote areas within a few hours of automotive parking, NONE can accurately be called Remote. I suggest vehemently that ORVs be completely banned from ALL public lands where no existing toads occurred before the large-scale inception of such use occurred in the 1980s. (I have the privilege of visiting on foot so many unprotected and insufficiently protects landscapes as impressive as or exceeding Gold Butte, in Nevada alone. Quiet encounters with others of all ages occur and are to be treasured in this period of unwarranted noise and pollution by those who refuse to respect the life and land. It is still possible that our culture can restore awareness, attention, respect, and love for the natural land which inspires , excites, informs, and for every living thing teaching us about what only some indigenous correctly refer to as "the right way to live."
