Protect Wilderness and wildness

“The questions raised in the podcast such as: is any place wild? Or is seeking solitude a racist act? Are perhaps worth some discussion but are not profound and they obscure more relevant truths, such as, that wilderness is incalculably valuable. The fact that there is no place on earth unaffected by humans is both sad and unsurprising to everyone. It seems unlikely that many people actually think that there weren’t native Americans in America, including wilderness areas before Europeans arrived. Suggesting that belief exists and is common seems to be a rhetorical device in service of arguments against Wilderness.
A primary purpose of the wilderness act is to do our best to save what little is left of the world that is not intensively managed so that every citizen regardless of race or class can receive the immense benefits of these treasures at an exceedingly low cost compared to other forms of recreation. Wilderness also protects non- human nature from our often bumbling even if at times well intentioned attempts to manage it.
It’s encouraging to hear the joy and wonder expressed at times in the podcast that comes in response to experiencing natural beauty and wildness. It gives me some hope and helps compensate for narratives that strengthen arguments against protecting Wilderness and wildness.”
