Original
Enduring resource of wilderness

to withstand changes

to insure that humans do not occupy or modify all areas of the United States

Where the imprint of humans is substantially unnoticeable

A place where animals could live and not worry about man killing them and just be free and go on with the life cycle as we do.

opportunities for animals and basically the wilderness to be left alone without influence of man.
