Controversy (then) At that time the country is going through one of the biggest economic booms EVER. Economics is defined by access to natural resources. Why would the wilderness act be controversial? Conservation vs. Preservation

Wilderness is managed by:

Path of a Wilderness designation

What qualifies as wilderness? 5,000 Acres or more. Roadless island Is the area appear to be natural and is human presence relatively unnoticeable? Does the area offer the opportunity for primitive camping, hiking, and skiing? Does it provide opportunities for solitude? Does the area contain unique features for non-economic purpose like science research, geological significance, scenic properties, ecological value, or historical value?

618 Million Acres of land

Colorado Wilderness

En vivo Wilderness has conserved many lands for recreational use, scientific study, and continues to be a reservoir for biodiversity Individuals don’t always obey signage

Controversy (now) Bill to Release Wilderness Study Areas Creates Controversy On July 26, the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Natural Resources’ Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands held a hearing on a bill intended to release some U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and USDA Forest Service wilderness study areas and roadless areas from protection. H.R. 1581—the “Wilderness and Roadless Area Release Act of 2011”—is creating controversy within the conservation community, reports the Wildlife Management Institute.
