People care about saving and preserving pretty landscapes and the animals we think are cute, but not dirty areas and scary animals we never want to go near. https://nowcomment.com/documents/400498?scroll_to=3512626 https://nowcomment.com/documents/400498?scroll_to=3512626 Sun, 29 Jun 2025 22:46:47 -0400 This makes sense. Protecting wilderness can have unfair consequences for those who are struggling financially, and we need to consider everyone's perspectives. https://nowcomment.com/documents/400498?scroll_to=3512625 https://nowcomment.com/documents/400498?scroll_to=3512625 Sun, 29 Jun 2025 22:41:40 -0400 So what was counted as the "wilderness" of that time? https://nowcomment.com/documents/400498?scroll_to=3512624 https://nowcomment.com/documents/400498?scroll_to=3512624 Sun, 29 Jun 2025 22:37:00 -0400 The idea that managed wilderness is "safe" might be too simple. Does making it safe take away what makes it wild, the chance to face real challenges and learn to rely on ourselves? https://nowcomment.com/documents/400498?scroll_to=3512623 https://nowcomment.com/documents/400498?scroll_to=3512623 Sun, 29 Jun 2025 22:32:21 -0400 This was very interesting. So while the natural world in wilderness is very real, our idea of it is not entirely separate from human influence. https://nowcomment.com/documents/400498?scroll_to=3512622 https://nowcomment.com/documents/400498?scroll_to=3512622 Sun, 29 Jun 2025 22:24:32 -0400 I have never thought about it this way but it makes sense. Different cultures and time periods have different ideas about what nature should be like, how it should be used, and what value it holds. https://nowcomment.com/documents/400498?scroll_to=3512621 https://nowcomment.com/documents/400498?scroll_to=3512621 Sun, 29 Jun 2025 22:19:00 -0400 I agree with this point because the wilderness really is the only pure place that we have not ruined completely with civilization. https://nowcomment.com/documents/400498?scroll_to=3512620 https://nowcomment.com/documents/400498?scroll_to=3512620 Wed, 10 Sep 2025 00:32:30 -0400
