The wilderness demonstrates not only a simple idea of experiencing the breathtaking qualities in the environment, but a promise to always acquire a free and crisp getaway that is easily accessible. Wallace Stegner, a compelling advocate and environmentalist spoke his mind in the perspective he regarded as accurate in preserving the wilderness. The wilderness provides exclusively for the better of the population with its stunning sights, the animals natural habitats, along with certain attributes to keep the homeland clean so society won’t crash down. The beauty of nature contrived has brought pleasure to the naked eye and has given a sense of happiness and reprieve. According to Stegner, “They can simply contemplate the area, take pleasure

Stegner states, “I knew them as my little brothers, as fellow creatures, and I have never been able to look upon animals in any other way since” (Stegner 11, 9-10). Over Stegner’s time in the wilderness, he has learned to bond with the animals in no other way. The experience he had, has attached him to see animals differently as not just creatures roaming around in the wilderness, but little brothers. Furthermore, “If we drive the few remaining members of the wild species into zoos or to extinction...” (Stegner 3, 3) Stegner’s point is that if the animals are forced away, the population will drop tremendously creating problems in several of the diverse industries. If the very limited animals still meandering around the earth are completely abolished, the deceased species can never appear again. Therefore, the benefits no longer can be created and the disadvantages settle in for destroying the home of the animals. Stegner’s view is “In the wilderness context, the dignity of rareness: they belong on the frontier, moreover, and have a look of rightness” (Stegner 10, 10-11). Basically, Stegner is saying, the animals, specifically the cattle, belong nowhere else besides the wilderness. The forest is the only place the animals are connected too and the only home familiar to them. The concept is absolutely obscene and immoral to just …show more content…
For example, the wilderness resembles as an escape from the unavoidable noises, polluted air, and dirty waters. Stegner states “On our saskatchewan prairie, the nearest neighbor was 4 miles away and at night we saw only 2 lights on all the dark rounding earth. (Stegner 11, 6-7) In the wilderness, the connection available with other humans is minimal resulting in very little noise. The canceling of noise creates a free environment of silence. Furthermore, completely destroying the wilderness would cause paved roads to be more frequent, bringing along an increase in loud ruckus. Stegner himself writes, “If we pollute the last clear air...so that never again will Americans be free..” (Stegner 3, 4-5) The wilderness has certain components that contribute to help the environment stay clean and free from pollutes. Once the source of cleanliness is removed, several effects come after emerging in bigger issues. The immense trees provide for more than just scenery to view, but the oxygen contributes for crisper air, along with less carbon dioxide eating away at the ozone. At last, the society would rapidly fall under due to lack of fresh water, but instead repugnant excess. As the prominent philosopher puts it, “The exhausts, the stinks of human and automotive waste… so that never again can we have the chance to see ourselves single, separate... in the world” (Stegner
