Abstract
The Wilderness Act of 1964 created the National Wilderness Preservation System, leading to protection of 106,498,016 acres of land in America. What are the benefits of this wilderness land? Scientists in this journal study the importance of wilderness land to wild animals, humans, and ecosystems.
