This is a video about wilderness. That includes the Wilderness Act, but also much more than that. I think about wilderness on more than one level, of which the Wilderness Act is a small part. I think about wilderness from a legal perspective (Wilderness Act), a sociocultural perspective, and an ecological perspective.
By expanding our perspective on wilderness, I believe we can bring more people to the conservation table and help protect even more special places around the world. Enjoy!
