5.0 out of 5 stars Mesmerizing photos that showcase the importance of Designated Wildernesses
“The Birth of Wilderness: The Gila Wilderness holds a remarkable distinction—it was the world’s first designated Wilderness area. Back in 1924, when Aldo Leopold and others championed its protection, they set the stage for a global movement. Imagine standing there, surrounded by untamed beauty, knowing that this was the birthplace of the idea that some places should remain untrammeled by human hands, where we are mere visitors, not conquerors. This book magically captures this through stunning photography – a book to treasure and inspire future generations to protect nature’s beauty.”
