An early tradition of <a href="/wiki/Landscape_art" class="mw-redirect" title="Landscape art">landscape art</a> occurred in the <a href="/wiki/Tang_Dynasty_art" class="mw-redirect" title="Tang Dynasty art">Tang Dynasty</a> (618–907). The tradition of representing nature as it is became one of the aims of <a href="/wiki/Chinese_painting" title="Chinese painting">Chinese painting</a> and was a significant influence in Asian art. Artists in the tradition of <a href="/wiki/Shan_shui" title="Shan shui">Shan shui</a> (lit. mountain-water-picture), learned to depict mountains and rivers "from the perspective of nature as a whole and on the basis of their understanding of the laws of nature … as if seen through the eyes of a bird". In the 13th century, Shih Erh Chi recommended avoiding painting "scenes lacking any places made inaccessible by nature".<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> For most of <a href="/wiki/Human_history" title="Human history">human history</a>, the greater part of Earth's terrain was wilderness, and human attention was concentrated on settled areas. The first known laws to protect parts of nature date back to the Babylonian Empire and Chinese Empire. <a href="/wiki/Ashoka" title="Ashoka">Ashoka</a>, the Great <a href="/wiki/Mauryan" class="mw-redirect" title="Mauryan">Mauryan</a> King, defined the first laws in the world to protect <a href="/wiki/Flora_and_fauna" class="mw-redirect" title="Flora and fauna">flora and fauna</a> in <a href="/wiki/Edicts_of_Ashoka" title="Edicts of Ashoka">Edicts of Ashoka</a> around the 3rd century B.C. In the <a href="/wiki/Middle_Ages" title="Middle Ages">Middle Ages</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Kings_of_England" class="mw-redirect" title="Kings of England">Kings of England</a> initiated one of the world's first conscious efforts to protect natural areas. They were motivated by a desire to be able to <a href="/wiki/Hunting" title="Hunting">hunt</a> wild animals in private hunting preserves rather than a desire to protect wilderness. Nevertheless, in order to have animals to hunt they would have to protect wildlife from subsistence hunting and the land from villagers gathering firewood.<a href="#cite_note-History-8">[8]</a> Similar measures were introduced in other European countries. However, in European cultures, throughout the Middle Ages, wilderness generally was not regarded worth protecting but rather judged strongly negative as a dangerous place and as a moral counter-world to the realm of culture and godly life.<a href="#cite_note-Kirchhoff_pp.443-9">[9]</a> "While archaic nature religions oriented themselves towards nature, in medieval Christendom this orientation was replaced by one towards divine law. The divine was no longer to be found in nature; instead, uncultivated nature became a site of the sinister and the demonic. It was considered corrupted by <a href="/wiki/Fall_of_man" title="Fall of man">the Fall</a> (natura lapsa), becoming a vale of tears in which humans were doomed to live out their existence. Thus, for example, mountains were interpreted [e.g, by <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Burnet_(theologian)" title="Thomas Burnet (theologian)">Thomas Burnet</a><a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a>] as ruins of a once flat earth destroyed by the <a href="/wiki/Flood" title="Flood">Flood</a>, with the seas as the remains of that Flood."<a href="#cite_note-Kirchhoff_pp.443-9">[9]</a> "If <a href="/wiki/Paradise" title="Paradise">paradise</a> was early man's greatest good, wilderness, as its antipode, was his greatest evil."<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="15th_to_19th_century">15th to 19th century</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Wilderness&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: 15th to 19th century" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> Wilderness was viewed by colonists as being evil in its resistance to their control.<a href="#cite_note-:3-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-:4-13">[13]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Puritan" class="mw-redirect" title="Puritan">puritanical</a> view of wilderness meant that in order for colonists to be able to live in North America, they had to destroy the wilderness in order to make way for their '<a href="/wiki/Civilized" class="mw-redirect" title="Civilized">civilized</a>' society.<a href="#cite_note-:3-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-:4-13">[13]</a> Wilderness was considered to be the root of the colonists' problems, so to make the problems go away, wilderness needed to be destroyed.<a href="#cite_note-:3-12">[12]</a> One of the first steps in doing this, is to <a href="/wiki/Clearcutting" title="Clearcutting">get rid of trees</a> in order to clear the land.<a href="#cite_note-:3-12">[12]</a> Military metaphors describing the wilderness as the "enemy" were used, and settler expansion was phrased as "[conquering] the wilderness".<a href="#cite_note-:3-12">[12]</a> In relation to the wilderness, <a href="/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States" title="Native Americans in the United States">Native Americans</a> were viewed as <a href="/wiki/Savage_(pejorative_term)" title="Savage (pejorative term)">savages</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:5-14">[14]</a> The relationship between Native Americans and the land was something colonists did not understand and did not try to understand.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> This mutually beneficial relationship was different from how colonists viewed the land only in relation to how it could benefit themselves by waging a constant battle to beat the land and other living organisms into submission.<a href="#cite_note-:3-12">[12]</a> The belief colonists had of the land being only something to be used was based in Christian ideas.<a href="#cite_note-:3-12">[12]</a> If the earth and animals and plants were created by a Christian God for human use, then the cultivation by colonists was their God-given goal.<a href="#cite_note-:5-14">[14]</a> However, the idea that what European colonists saw upon arriving in North America was pristine and devoid of humans is untrue due to the existence of Native Americans.<a href="#cite_note-:6-16">[16]</a> The land was shaped by Native Americans through practices such as fires.<a href="#cite_note-:7-17">[17]</a> Burning happened frequently and in a controlled manner.<a href="#cite_note-:6-16">[16]</a> The landscapes seen in the US today are very different from the way things looked before colonists came.<a href="#cite_note-:6-16">[16]</a> <a href="/wiki/Wildfire" title="Wildfire">Fire</a> could be used to maintain food, cords, and baskets.<a href="#cite_note-:6-16">[16]</a> One of the main roles of frequent fires was to prevent the out of control fires which are becoming more and more common.<a href="#cite_note-:6-16">[16]</a> The idea of wilderness having <a href="/wiki/Intrinsic_value_(ethics)" title="Intrinsic value (ethics)">intrinsic value</a> emerged in the <a href="/wiki/Western_culture" title="Western culture">Western world</a> in the 19th century. <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom_of_Great_Britain_and_Ireland" title="United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland">British</a> artists <a href="/wiki/John_Constable" title="John Constable">John Constable</a> and <a href="/wiki/J._M._W._Turner" title="J.

Prior to that, paintings had been primarily of religious scenes or of human beings. <a href="/wiki/William_Wordsworth" title="William Wordsworth">William Wordsworth</a>'s poetry described the wonder of the natural world, which had formerly been viewed as a threatening place. Increasingly the valuing of nature became an aspect of Western culture.<a href="#cite_note-History-8">[8]</a> By the mid-19th century, in Germany, "Scientific Conservation", as it was called, advocated "the efficient utilization of <a href="/wiki/Natural_resources" class="mw-redirect" title="Natural resources">natural resources</a> through the application of <a href="/wiki/Science" title="Science">science</a> and <a href="/wiki/Technology" title="Technology">technology</a>".

The British established great <a href="/wiki/Nature_reserves" class="mw-redirect" title="Nature reserves">wildlife preserves</a> there. As before, this interest in conservation had an economic motive: in this case, <a href="/wiki/Big-game_hunter" class="mw-redirect" title="Big-game hunter">big game hunting</a>. Nevertheless, this led to growing recognition in the 1950s and the early 1960s of the need to protect large spaces for wildlife conservation worldwide. The <a href="/wiki/World_Wildlife_Fund" class="mw-redirect" title="World Wildlife Fund">World Wildlife Fund</a> (WWF), founded in 1961, grew to be one of the largest conservation organizations in the world.<a href="#cite_note-History-8">[8]</a> Early conservationists advocated the creation of a legal mechanism by which boundaries could be set on human activities in order to preserve natural and unique lands for the enjoyment and use of future generations. This profound shift in wilderness thought reached a pinnacle in the US with the passage of the <a href="/wiki/Wilderness_Act" title="Wilderness Act">Wilderness Act</a> of 1964, which allowed for parts of <a href="/wiki/U.S._National_Forest" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. National Forest">U.S. National Forests</a> to be designated as "wilderness preserves". Similar acts, such as the 1975 <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Wilderness_Areas_Act" title="Eastern Wilderness Areas Act">Eastern Wilderness Areas Act</a>, followed. Nevertheless, initiatives for wilderness conservation continue to increase. There are a growing number of projects to <a href="/wiki/Tropical_rainforest_conservation" title="Tropical rainforest conservation">protect tropical rainforests</a> through conservation initiatives. There are also large-scale projects to conserve wilderness regions, such as Canada's <a href="/wiki/Boreal_Forest_Conservation_Framework" title="Boreal Forest Conservation Framework">Boreal Forest Conservation Framework</a>.

The 21st century has seen another slight shift in wilderness thought and theory. It is now understood that simply drawing lines around a piece of land and declaring it a wilderness does not necessarily make it a wilderness. All <a href="/wiki/Landscape" title="Landscape">landscapes</a> are intricately connected and what happens outside a wilderness certainly affects what happens inside it. For example, <a href="/wiki/Air_pollution" title="Air pollution">air pollution</a> from <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a> and the California Central Valley affects Kern Canyon and <a href="/wiki/Sequoia_National_Park" title="Sequoia National Park">Sequoia National Park</a>. The national park has miles of "wilderness" but the air is filled with pollution from the valley. This gives rise to the paradox of what a wilderness really is; a key issue in 21st century wilderness thought. <figure class="mw-halign-center" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ahja_j%C3%B5e_%C3%BCrgorg.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b3/Ahja_j%C3%B5e_%C3%BCrgorg.jpg/1144px-Ahja_j%C3%B5e_%C3%BCrgorg.jpg" decoding="async" width="1144" height="221" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="6700" data-file-height="1296"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 1144px;height: 221px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b3/Ahja_j%C3%B5e_%C3%BCrgorg.jpg/1144px-Ahja_j%C3%B5e_%C3%BCrgorg.jpg" data-width="1144" data-height="221" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b3/Ahja_j%C3%B5e_%C3%BCrgorg.jpg/1716px-Ahja_j%C3%B5e_%C3%BCrgorg.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b3/Ahja_j%C3%B5e_%C3%BCrgorg.jpg/2288px-Ahja_j%C3%B5e_%C3%BCrgorg.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption><div class="center" style="width:auto; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;">A view of wilderness in Estonia</div></figcaption></figure> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(2)"><h2 id="National_parks">National parks</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Wilderness&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: National parks" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-2 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-2"> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:El_Toro_Wilderness.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/El_Toro_Wilderness.jpg/260px-El_Toro_Wilderness.jpg" decoding="async" width="260" height="158" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="500" data-file-height="303"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 260px;height: 158px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/El_Toro_Wilderness.jpg/260px-El_Toro_Wilderness.jpg" data-width="260" data-height="158" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/El_Toro_Wilderness.jpg/390px-El_Toro_Wilderness.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/El_Toro_Wilderness.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/El_Toro_Wilderness" title="El Toro Wilderness">El Toro Wilderness</a> within the <a href="/wiki/El_Yunque_National_Forest" title="El Yunque National Forest">El Yunque National Forest</a> in <a href="/wiki/Puerto_Rico" title="Puerto Rico">Puerto Rico</a></figcaption></figure> The creation of <a href="/wiki/National_Park" class="mw-redirect" title="National Park">national parks</a>, beginning in the 19th century, preserved some especially attractive and notable areas, but the pursuits of <a href="/wiki/Commerce" title="Commerce">commerce</a>, <a href="/wiki/Lifestyle_(sociology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Lifestyle (sociology)">lifestyle</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Recreation" title="Recreation">recreation</a> combined with increases in <a href="/wiki/Human_population" class="mw-redirect" title="Human population">human population</a> have continued to result in human modification of relatively untouched areas. Such human activity often negatively impacts native flora and fauna. As such, to better protect critical habitats and preserve low-impact recreational opportunities, legal concepts of "wilderness" were established in many countries, beginning with the United States (see below). The first National Park was <a href="/wiki/Yellowstone" class="mw-redirect" title="Yellowstone">Yellowstone</a>, which was signed into law by U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant on 1 March 1872.<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> The Act of Dedication declared Yellowstone a land "hereby reserved and withdrawn from settlement, occupancy, or sale under the laws of the United States, and dedicated and set apart as a public park or pleasuring ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people."<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> When national parks were established in an area, the Native Americans that had been living there were forcibly removed so visitors to the park could see nature without humans present.<a href="#cite_note-:8-22">[22]</a> National parks are seen as areas untouched by humans, when in reality, humans existed in these spaces, until settler colonists came in and forced them off their lands in order to create the national parks.<a href="#cite_note-:8-22">[22]</a> The concept glorifies the idea that before settlers came, the US was an uninhabited landscape.<a href="#cite_note-:8-22">[22]</a> This erases the reality of Native Americans, and their relationship with the land and the role they had in shaping the landscape.<a href="#cite_note-:8-22">[22]</a> Such erasure suggests there were areas of the US which were historically unoccupied, once again erasing the existence of Native Americans and their relationship to the land.<a href="#cite_note-:8-22">[22]</a> In the case of Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Yosemite, the 'preservation' of these lands by the US government was what caused the Native Americans who lived in the areas to be systematically removed.<a href="#cite_note-:8-22">[22]</a> Historian Mark David Spence has shown that the case of Glacier National Park and the Blackfeet people who live there is a perfect example of such erasure.<a href="#cite_note-:8-22">[22]</a> The Blackfeet people had specifically designated rights to the area, but the 1910 Glacier National Park act made void those rights.<a href="#cite_note-:8-22">[22]</a><a href="#cite_note-:7-17">[17]</a> The act of 'preserving' the land was specifically linked to the exclusion of the Blackfeet people.<a href="#cite_note-:8-22">[22]</a> The continued resistance of the Blackfeet people has provided documentation of the importance of the area to many different tribes.<a href="#cite_note-:7-17">[17]</a><a href="#cite_note-:8-22">[22]</a> The world's second national park, the <a href="/wiki/Royal_National_Park" title="Royal National Park">Royal National Park</a>, located just 32 km to the south of <a href="/wiki/Sydney" title="Sydney">Sydney</a>, <a href="/wiki/Australia" title="Australia">Australia</a>, was established in 1879.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> The U.S. concept of national parks soon caught on in <a href="/wiki/Canada" title="Canada">Canada</a>, which created <a href="/wiki/Banff_National_Park" title="Banff National Park">Banff National Park</a> in 1885, at the same time as the transcontinental <a href="/wiki/Canadian_Pacific_Railway" title="Canadian Pacific Railway">Canadian Pacific Railway</a> was being built. The creation of this and other parks showed a growing appreciation of wild nature, but also an economic reality. The railways wanted to entice people to travel west. Parks such as Banff and Yellowstone gained favor as the railroads advertised travel to "the great wild spaces" of North America. When outdoorsman Teddy Roosevelt became president of the United States, he began to enlarge the U.S. National Parks system, and established the National Forest system.<a href="#cite_note-History-8">[8]</a> By the 1920s, travel across North America by train to experience the "wilderness" (often viewing it only through windows) had become very popular.

The United States was one of the first countries to officially designate land as "wilderness" through the <a href="/wiki/Wilderness_Act" title="Wilderness Act">Wilderness Act</a> of 1964. The Wilderness Act is an important part of wilderness designation because it created the legal definition of wilderness and established the National Wilderness Preservation System. The Wilderness Act defines wilderness as "an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammelled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain."<a href="#cite_note-41">[41]</a> Wilderness designation helps preserve the natural state of the land and protects flora and fauna by prohibiting development and providing for non-mechanized recreation only. The first administratively protected wilderness area in the United States was the Gila National Forest. In 1922, <a href="/wiki/Aldo_Leopold" title="Aldo Leopold">Aldo Leopold</a>, then a ranking member of the U.S. Forest Service, proposed a new management strategy for the Gila National Forest.

For example, <a href="/wiki/William_Cronon" title="William Cronon">William Cronon</a> writes that what he calls a wilderness ethic or cult may "teach us to be dismissive or even contemptuous of such humble places and experiences", and that "wilderness tends to privilege some parts of nature at the expense of others", using as an example "the mighty canyon more inspiring than the humble marsh."<a href="#cite_note-Cronon-58">[58]</a> This is most clearly visible with the fact that nearly all U.S. National Parks preserve spectacular canyons and mountains, and it was not until the 1940s that a swamp became a national park—<a href="/wiki/The_Everglades" class="mw-redirect" title="The Everglades">the Everglades</a>. In the mid-20th century national parks started to protect <a href="/wiki/Biodiversity" title="Biodiversity">biodiversity</a>, not simply attractive scenery. Cronon also believes the passion to save wilderness "poses a serious threat to responsible <a href="/wiki/Environmentalism" title="Environmentalism">environmentalism</a>" and writes that it allows people to "give ourselves permission to evade responsibility for the lives we actually lead ... to the extent that we live in an urban-industrial civilization but at the same time pretend to ourselves that our real home is in the wilderness".<a href="#cite_note-Cronon-58">[58]</a> <a href="/wiki/Michael_Pollan" title="Michael Pollan">Michael Pollan</a> has argued that the wilderness ethic leads people to dismiss areas whose wildness is less than absolute. In his book Second Nature, Pollan writes that "once a landscape is no longer 'virgin' it is typically written off as fallen, lost to nature, irredeemable."<a href="#cite_note-59">[59]</a> Another challenge to the conventional notion of wilderness comes from Robert Winkler in his book, Going Wild: Adventures with Birds in the Suburban Wilderness. "On walks in the unpeopled parts of the suburbs," Winkler writes, "I’ve witnessed the same wild creatures, struggles for survival, and natural beauty that we associate with true wilderness."<a href="#cite_note-60">[60]</a> Attempts have been made, as in the <a href="/wiki/Pennsylvania_Scenic_Rivers" title="Pennsylvania Scenic Rivers">Pennsylvania Scenic Rivers</a> Act, to distinguish "wild" from various levels of human influence: in the Act, "wild rivers" are "not impounded", "usually not accessible except by trail", and their watersheds and shorelines are "essentially primitive".<a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a> Another source of criticism is that the criteria for wilderness designation is vague and open to interpretation. For example, the Wilderness Act states that wilderness must be roadless. The definition given for roadless is "the absences of roads which have been improved and maintained by mechanical means to insure relatively regular and continuous use".<a href="#cite_note-62">[62]</a> However, there have been added sub-definitions that have, in essence, made this standard unclear and open to interpretation, and some are drawn to narrowly exclude existing roads. Coming from a different direction, some criticism from the <a href="/wiki/Deep_Ecology" class="mw-redirect" title="Deep Ecology">Deep Ecology</a> movement argues against conflating "wilderness" with "wilderness reservations", viewing the latter term as an oxymoron that, by allowing the law as a human construct to define nature, unavoidably voids the very freedom and independence of human control that defines wilderness.<a href="#cite_note-63">[63]</a> True wilderness requires the ability of life to undergo <a href="/wiki/Speciation" title="Speciation">speciation</a> with as little interference from humanity as possible.<a href="#cite_note-64">[64]</a> <a href="/wiki/Anthropologist" title="Anthropologist">Anthropologist</a> and scholar on wilderness Layla Abdel-Rahim argues that it is necessary to understand the principles that govern the economies of mutual aid and diversification in wilderness from a non-anthropocentric perspective.<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a> Others have criticized the American concept of wilderness as rooted in <a href="/wiki/White_supremacy" title="White supremacy">white supremacy</a>, ignoring Native American perspectives on the natural environment and excluding people of color from narratives about human interactions with the environment.

Grant, who worked alongside President <a href="/wiki/Theodore_Roosevelt" title="Theodore Roosevelt">Theodore Roosevelt</a> to create the <a href="/wiki/Bronx_Zoo" title="Bronx Zoo">Bronx Zoo</a>, also wrote <a href="/wiki/The_Passing_of_the_Great_Race" title="The Passing of the Great Race">The Passing of the Great Race</a>, a book on eugenics that was later praised by Adolf Hitler. Grant is also known to have featured <a href="/wiki/Ota_Benga" title="Ota Benga">Ota Benga</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Mbuti" class="mw-redirect" title="Mbuti">Mbuti</a> man from Central Africa, in the Bronx Zoo monkey house exhibit.<a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a> <a href="/wiki/John_Muir" title="John Muir">John Muir</a>, another important figure in the early conservation movement, referred to African-Americans as "making a great deal of noise and doing little work", and compared Native Americans to unclean animals who did not belong in the wilderness.<a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a> Environmental history professor Miles A. Powell of Nanyang Technological University has argued that much of the early conservation movement was deeply tied to and inspired by a desire to preserve the <a href="/wiki/Nordic_race" title="Nordic race">Nordic race</a>.<a href="#cite_note-68">[68]</a> Prakash Kashwan, a political science professor at the University of Connecticut who specializes in environmental policies and <a href="/wiki/Environmental_justice" title="Environmental justice">environmental justice</a>, argues that the racist ideas of many early conservationists created a narrative of wilderness that has led to "fortress conservation" policies that have driven Native Americans off of their land. Kashwan has proposed conservation practices that would allow Indigenous people to continue using the land as a more just and more effective alternative to fortress conservation.<a href="#cite_note-69">[69]</a> The idea that the natural world is primarily made up of remote wilderness areas has also been criticized as classist, with environmental sociologist <a href="/wiki/Dorceta_Taylor" title="Dorceta Taylor">Dorceta Taylor</a> arguing that this leads to experiencing wilderness becoming a privilege, as working-class people are often unable to afford transportation to wilderness areas. She further argues that, due to poverty and lack of access to transportation caused by <a href="/wiki/Systemic_racism" class="mw-redirect" title="Systemic racism">systemic racism</a>, this perception is also rooted in racism.<a href="#cite_note-70">[70]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Human–nature_dichotomy">Human–nature dichotomy</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Wilderness&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Human–nature dichotomy" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> Another critique of wilderness is that it perpetuates the human-nature dichotomy. The idea that nature and humans are separate entities can be traced back to European colonial views. To European settlers, land was an inherited right and was to be used to profit.<a href="#cite_note-71">[71]</a> While native groups saw their relationship with the land in a more holistic view, they were eventually subjected to European property systems.<a href="#cite_note-72">[72]</a> Colonists from Europe saw the American landscape as wild, savage, dark, [etc.] and thus needed to be tamed in order for it to be safe and habitable. Once cleared and settled, these areas were depicted as "Eden itself".<a href="#cite_note-:1-73">[73]</a> Yet the native peoples of those lands saw "wilderness" as that when the connection between humans and nature is broken.<a href="#cite_note-74">[74]</a> For native communities, human intervention was a part of their ecological practices. There is a historical belief that wilderness must not only be tamed to be protected but that humans also need to be outside of it.<a href="#cite_note-:2-75">[75]</a> In order to clear certain areas for conservation, such as national parks, involved the removal of native communities from their land.<a href="#cite_note-:1-73">[73]</a> Some authors have come to describe this type of conservation as conservation-far, where humans and nature are kept separate. The other end of the conservation spectrum then, would be conservation-near, which would mimic native ecological practices of humans integrated into the care of nature.<a href="#cite_note-:2-75">[75]</a> Most scientists and conservationists agree that no place on earth is completely untouched by humanity, either due to past occupation by <a href="/wiki/Indigenous_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Indigenous people">indigenous people</a>, or through global processes such as <a href="/wiki/Climate_change" title="Climate change">climate change</a> or <a href="/wiki/Pollution" title="Pollution">pollution</a>. Activities on the margins of specific wilderness areas, such as <a href="/wiki/Wildfire" title="Wildfire">fire</a> suppression and the interruption of <a href="/wiki/Bird_migration" title="Bird
