Integration of Wilderness Values in Forestry and Wildlife Management

The paper defines wilderness from a naturalist's point of view. It argues the need to preserve pure wilderness by reserving intact ecosystems where no human disturbance is allowed, and in wild lands generally, to implement forestry and wildlife management practices that maintain the natural diversity of species of a region. It adresses the problem of protecting wilderness values from overuse by recreationists, and the need to manage wilderness areas to avoid such overuse.
