wilderness area

A wilderness area is a protected region of land preserved in its natural state, where human activity is minimal or regulated to maintain ecological integrity. These areas are often remote, featuring native plants, wildlife, and landscapes free from permanent development or significant interaction. They serve to conserve biodiversity, provide opportunities for scientific research, and offer places for solitude and recreation. Wilderness areas are designated to ensure that natural processes occur with limited human impact, helping to preserve ecosystems for future generations while allowing people to experience the beauty and complexity of undisturbed nature.
