“Nations should pass laws to preserve any remaining wilderness areas in their natural state, even if these areas could be developed for economic gain."
I partially agree with the statement that nations should pass laws to preserve any remaining wilderness areas in their natural state, even if these areas could be developed for economic gain. However, my contrary viewpoint/standpoint/view might involve in a compromise between development of human beings and preservation for the ecology environment, if which not well be practiced, it quite be possible/likely that which could result in an out-of-control situation. Nevertheless I do not mean we should cease all development activities that are related to nature; otherwise we may be counterproductive. Taking into account the human damage and impact on the natural environment and sometimes it is difficult to accurately estimate, so the preventive protection of wilderness is necessary and required. Since the human race entered the era of agricultural/agricultural revolution, they have been exploited the wilderness even forest at a fast rate, by destroying wetlands in order to raise livestock or devastating/devastating rain-forests for the sake of planting crops. Worse still, after the industrial revolution, the utilization/exploitation of remaining wilderness reached an unprecedented speed. Increasingly, wild areas are being disrupted by humans’ activities for economic gain, which has caused a large number of valuable animals and plants to extinguish、extinction or perish from the earth. Also, the number of endangered animals is still decreasing at present. In order to protect these flora and fauna from extinction, nations ought to pass laws to preserve some wilderness areas so as to provide wildlife with an undisrupted environment.
However, when it comes to conserving any wilderness areas, it seems a little bit unrealistic/unrealistic and unnecessary. In the case of the limited capacity of public finances, it seems doubtful that the government can guarantee to protect all wilderness areas. When it comes to some already inaccessible wilderness, it is likely to be a waste of resources/resources for the implementation/ execution/carry out of conservation practices. Furthermore, the balance of man and nature does not mean that absolutely eliminate/eliminate the human impact on the environment. Absolute elimination of human factors in the natural environment is denying that people also as a part of the natural environment. Since it is fact that there exists interaction between human beings and natural environment, absolute elimination of human factors may be another form of environmental damage. In summary, it is wise for people who are integrated into/integrated the environment and in symbiosis with the environment, but not to damage the environment, only in these ways could people live harmoniously with natural environment.

    In the article Island Civilization: A vision for human occupancy of Earth, Roderick Frazier Nash describes how the earth that was once a peaceful planet with freedom of living for every specie turned out to be the earth we are living in now. Had human beings more farsighted they wouldn’t have taken wilderness as something that must be controlled. Nash explains how the mankind built fences and roads to control the wild, and soon there came a time when United States Census claimed there was no longer a frontier left that humans haven’t damaged which created a national angst. As Nash says “The notion of wilderness was passing over a tipping point from liability to asset” (Nash 373) This resulted in acts that emphasized the importance of wilderness. Extinction of many other species was observed so acts were taken for the animal protection and various authors started writing books on the negative environmental impact.…

    Coastlines have a special place in history and they are disappearing the most rapidly. He talks about how National Parks and Forests need to be handled with care since there are a limited supply left, for the people to view. Early and recent developments like the fishing resort and the separation of National Forest from State forest in Minnesota, have threatened the disintegration of some areas. Tourist roads and public highways move in on federal areas reserved for the beautiful views, and are starting to take over. The author talks about how during war times the shortage of lumber was a gateway for new roads to clear out the trees, but now ski-resorts are built where wilderness use to reside. He also states that Canada and Alaska have wilderness areas that have never been named and should stay like that as long as possible. Wilderness for recreation has annihilated numerous acres of wilderness for games and athletic sports. In the early days wilderness was only used to…

    Tisdell first addresses the need for conservation of wildlife on private property. She explains how a large proportion of the Earth’s land is in private hands. There is a significant amount of wildlife on these lands which needs protection because under the current status quo, the landowners have no incentive to protect them as the existence of the wildlife on their lands hold no benefit for them. In such a situation, the author analyzes the effectiveness of giving private property rights to wildlife to the landowners.…

    Terry Tempest William’s written essay, “A Shark in the Mind of One Contemplating Wilderness,” delivers to us, with intended purpose using shocking truths of greed and destruction. Actions took under the cloak and disguise of the needs of civilization, creating more jobs, or even to boost the rich man’s governmental legacy of our badly raped and abused national economy. How continued acts of greed and wanton disregard for the environment, are endangering nature the wilderness areas we have sought to protect? Acts that leave behind damage and destruction where once nature and wilderness thrived. A land no longer able to maintain and support the natural balance of the animal populations as it once did.…

    Bridger Teton

    Conservation is the use and exploitation of the land in a sustainable way, or one might say to manage. Preservation is the protection of the land that limits use, in order to maintain a pristine condition or to protect. After my research, I do believe that humans can actually harvest forest resources in an environmentally friendly way. Does that mean we should? In my opinion, I think that each situation is different, based on the use of the land and what the condition of the land is that is trying to be used. In the case of the Bridger Teton National forest, I do feel that it should be left in its natural state. For so many years this land has been untouched, untamed and undiscovered. To take land of this nature for drilling, building roads and pipelines are not worth it. To the people of Wyoming it is more valuable than what you can get out of it from oil and gas. New technology should allow other ways to give us freedom for foreign oil. I really thought it was odd that the politicians were already calling “Management Area 71” which does not scream environmentally friendly.…

    Muir and Abbey

    • 1014 Words
    • 3 Pages

    It is difficult to find writers more passionate about the natural environment than John Muir and Edward Abbey. Both Muir in a section from his book A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf and Abbey in a chapter titled Polemic: Industrial Tourism and the National Parks channel anger and frustration at the environmental policies of their time into literature that argues fervently for preservation of national parks and other areas of wilderness. In Hetch Hetchy Valley, Muir reverently describes in vivid detail the beautiful landscape of a river valley in Yosemite called the Hetch Hetchy Valley, condemning anyone who supports a government plan to dam the Hetch Hetchy River and flood the valley. In a famous quote Muir says, “no holier temple has ever been consecrated by the heart of man” (Muir 112). Abbey employs a highly sarcastic and satirical tone to outline the consequences of further expansion of roads and highways into national parks. He aims to incite anger with sharp language and insults to draw the reader in emotionally. “This is a courageous view, admirable in its simplicity and power… It is also quite insane” (Abbey 422). Both pieces easily stand alone, but when looked at together they suggest even more strongly that it is deceptive and dishonest to advertise industrialization of wilderness as any kind of favorable progress for society. This “progress” does not actually benefit anyone. Those who proclaim this as their reason for supporting industrial development are more likely motivated by the short-term economic benefits they will receive.…

    Why Wilderness

    In his speech “Why Wilderness?”, Roderick Frazier Nash uses his power of persuasion, knowledge, and personal belief to convey how essential our wilderness is. He is trying to accomplish two things; persuading the reader that wilderness is important enough to put forth an effort into preserving it, and present to the (already pro-wilderness) audience how he believes they should do so. By contrasting the past and present of our wilderness and what we have and haven’t done to keep it, Nash suggests that we are not currently on the correct path. Nash does an excellent job of proving to the reader and the audience that change is in order without bombarding them with negativity.…
