If you look on the map, there's a small patch of wilderness in the lower 48 (direct link): https://media.nature.com/w800/magazine-assets/d41586-018-07183-6/d41586-018-07183-6_16233416.jpg https://media.nature.com/w800/magazine-assets/d41586-018-071... That's most likely the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness here in Idaho, as well as the various national forests surrounding it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Church–River_of_No_Return_Wilderness https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Church–River_of_No_Retur... There is almost no wilderness left, and what remains is only there because people spent lifetimes working to defend it. I highly encourage anyone who reads this to make a stand in your personal discussions to always choose protecting wild lands over financial gain. I see the recent attacks on things like the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase national monuments to be sabotage, undermining the decades-long efforts of conservationists: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/04/us/trump-bears-ears.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/04/us/trump-bears-ears.html As a native Idahoan I respect opposing arguments but recent trends have gone too far. I heard discussions while growing up that when the national debt reached a certain level, the US government would begin selling off its public lands. So look at who stands to benefit from that and other debts, and you'll see a giant circle of corruption. Meta-level critical thinking is needed now more than ever in these times.
