Wilderness o wildlands son los entornos naturales de la Tierra que no han sido modificados significativamente por la actividad humana, o cualquier terreno no urbanizado que no esté bajo cultivo agrícola extensivo. El término se ha referido tradicionalmente a entornos terrestres, aunque se está prestando cada vez más atención a la naturaleza salvaje marina. Los mapas recientes de áreas silvestres sugieren que cubren aproximadamente una cuarta parte de la superficie terrestre de la Tierra, pero está siendo degradada rápidamente por la actividad humana. Queda aún menos naturaleza salvaje en el océano, con solo 13.2% libre de actividad humana intensa.
“The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only home we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need — if only we had the eyes to see.”
“I tried to break the spell — the heavy, mute spell of the wilderness — that seemed to draw him to its pitiless breast by the awakening of forgotten and brutal instincts, by the memory of gratified and monstrous passions.”
“Many of the attributes most distinctive of America and Americans are the impress of the wilderness. … Shall we now exterminate this thing that made us Americans?”
“In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.”
“It is in vain to dream of a wildness distant from ourselves. There is none such.”
“To be whole. To be complete. Wildness reminds us what it means to be human, what we are connected to rather than what we are separate from.”
