83"Government should preserve publicly owned wilderness areas in their natural state, even though these areas are often extremely remote and thus accessible to only a few people.
In the new global, environment protection has became a central issue for every states. The author asserts that government should preserve publicly owned wilderness areas which are so remote that few people access there. However, as for me, there is no need to spend a great lot of funds and labour forces to do such work.
First of all, I must admit that the environment we lived has been destroyed by human beings seriously and it is our obligation to protect the earth environment. Over the past century, the damage we bring to the earth increase so quickly that a large number of environment problems expose to us. Thinking about the global warming, ozone hole, water pollution and forests damage, there is no doubt that it is human who damage the earth where is the only suitable place for us to live. With the technology developing, the needs for natural resources and the trash we discard to the earth also go up. Some trash we throw may be poisonous and some resources may not get back to the primary level for we get too much natural resource. Once all these human activity cause undesirable changes in the physical, chemical or biological characteristics to the earth, human beings should suffer the result which may be influence our life. With abundant unexploited resources, the wilderness areas indeed need us to protect them not to be distroyed.
Although I agree that these wildness areas should be protected, I do not think it is wise for the government to take some actions to preserve these areas. Considering that these areas are always so far from big cities and towns that people hardly enter these places, it is certainly that there are fewer human activities there. Moreover, it is high possible that these places have their own ability to keep the balance of the environment. The plants and animals have already adapted the surrounding there. Once human beings take some actions which we think can protect the environment there, it may cause some reaction. Maybe some animals and plants' 'peaceful livies' are affected by our activities.
Furthermore, in my view, other environment problems are more urgently to be solved than to preserve wilderness areas. Thus the government should distinguish the primary and secondary problems in the whole states. Take water pollution as an example, as we know, it has already affect human's life. In the 1950s, knowing nothing about the waste problems near the Love Canal, a small town in upstate New York, a large number of families began to settle in the area. 20 years later, the people there had an unusually high rate of cancer and birth defects for the reason that the water had been polluted by the chemical dumped by the chemical companies. If state's government deal with the pollution there earlier, maybe far less people could suffer from those diseases. Other problems, such as forests damage, air pollution, are also more important than the protect of wilderness areas for that these wildness areas can not influence our daily life. However, if the government has done with all urgent problems properly, we should consider taking actions to protect wildness areas.
From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw conclusion that the government should not preserve publicly owned wilderness immediately. We should first to deal with the significant problems in our daily life.
