Wilderness

"In wilderness(荒野) is the preservation of the world." This is a famous saying from a writer regarded

as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated

debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.

As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the

untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The

urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation(开发) brings to

such landscapes(景观) is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need-the

rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr.Sauven, these "ecosystem services" far

outweigh the gains from exploitation.

Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. He acknowledges that

wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason

to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more

people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely

struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for

raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing

the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being

untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.

I look forwards to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other

participants. One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of

spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be

exploited without harm.

This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What

position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious

thinking.
