Description
|
|
|
|
Examining the state of wilderness in the northeastern United States, this environmental study features a new three-pronged conservation approach based on ecological reserves designed to protect biological diversity, rewilding and restoring lands to wilderness, and embedding wilderness in a landscape of sustainably managed farmland and forestland. It addresses major theoretical and practical aspects of this important issue, including whether or not it really is desirable to reestablish wilderness areas in the northeast. Protection and social management are urged not to restore the "forest primeval" but instead for building recovering areas, in which returning species like moose and peregrine falcons roam over new-growth softwoods and hardwoods, interspersed with the stone walls that once marked field boundaries.
