Wilderness Preservation System

The Wilderness Preservation System is a network of protected federal lands designated to remain wild and minimally impacted by human activity. It aims to conserve natural ecosystems, provide spaces for solitude and recreation, and preserve biodiversity. These areas typically have limited development, no roads, and restrictions on activities like logging or mining. The system ensures that pristine landscapes and native plants and animals are preserved for future generations to enjoy, study, and experience the natural world in its undisturbed state.
