On the meaning of wilderness
@limits2growth
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.”

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.
