Wilderness
has never been more important than it is today. But it is not as important today
as it will be tomorrow. -- Vance G. Martin
These are the proceedings of the 7th World Wilderness Congress, an event held
just seven weeks after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the United
States. More than 100 registered delegates were forced to cancel, and many
others who wanted to attend were unable to do so. Despite the seriousness of the
times, the Congress convened in an atmosphere of hope and belief that wilderness
is a fundamental, irreplaceable value and substance to all humanity. Wilderness
gives us strength, sanity and inspiration--we should do all in our power to
protect it.
