is wilderness such an important issue today? What responsibilities do we have to
our environment? How can we balance the needs of individuals, society and the
Earth itself in order to assure that wild places will remain a functioning and
valuable part of our planet? Wilderness 1983, the 3rd World Wilderness Congress,

style. The wilderness issue is explored in depth by a multi disciplined
gathering of scientists, artists, politicians, industrialists, tribal people,
psychologists, and philosophers. Contributors include Sir Laurens van der Post,
Ian Player, Jose Lutzenberger, Felipe Benavides, Professor C. A. Meier, Carolyn
Tawangyawma, Dr. Morton Boyd, Dr. John Hendee, and the Hon. Barry Cohen. Eight
pages of color and more than 80 black and white photographs complement the text.
