On the meaning of wilderness

Yes. In fact wilderness is the web of life. Just look at a handful of soil through the microscope. Our understanding of how much our own lives depend on wilderness is very limited.

Great quote on the meanings of wilderness: “The general public may view wilderness areas like recreational facilities. But scientists see them more like libraries. They contain a wealth of information about the natural world—why it has thrived for so long, how it adapts and evolves under the pressure of evolution, and what truly makes it die.”
