roadless area

A roadless area is a natural region that remains free of developed roads, highways, or paved pathways. These areas are often protected because they preserve ecosystems, wildlife habitats, and scenic beauty by minimizing human disturbance. Roadless areas provide opportunities for outdoor recreation, such as hiking and camping, while maintaining ecological health. They are valued for their pristine condition, offering a refuge for plants and animals, and ensuring that certain landscapes remain undisturbed by infrastructure development. Protecting roadless areas supports environmental sustainability and helps maintain biodiversity.
