Wilderness in the natural state, comparing with the more populous megapolis or swarmed sea-side city, is not appealing or seemingly not worth too much attention. Nonetheless, this issue is not as simple as choosing a comfortable place or comparing the financial income.
There has much more too consider.

As the representative of the nation's people, the addresser of national sovereignty, and the faithful bodyguard of terrain safety, government is bestowed with power and responsibility, as delegate of its people. Government should weigh between advantages and disadvantages, particularly concerning issues related to its territory. As the most basic element of a country, territory serves as the habitation of its people, the rich soil of its culture cultivation, the emblem of its country's strength and should not be treated freely and easily. It has not much relationship with whether it is wilderness or not; it is what it stands for matters. It is not a question of accessible or remote; it is related with the glory and dignity of the nation.

On the other hand, the wilderness often serves as the insubstitudable habitat of  wild animals, thus preserving the wilderness is the best measure for sustaining the seemingly strictly strategic organized but actually pretty delicate natural equilibrium. It is now generally accepted by scientists that rain forests are of more potential value on a long-term sustainable basis when left more or less intact than when converted to pastures or other simplified habitats.  Because rain forest has built the largest standing biomass of any plant community on earth, managed rain forests can thus provide huge amounts of valuable timber, retain the naturally thin topsoil layers, regulate runoff, and stabilize local climate. however, the invasion and presumptuous agricultural process in recent years are so egregious and extensive that
scientific predicated that it would take hundreds of years for something alike the original forest to return, if human restrict their avaricious capture. In light of the potential benefit the rain forest bestowed, the preserving action is worthwhile for the existence of human as a species.

Furthermore, be wilderness or not is partially depended on human activities: before cultivation it is wilderness, after transformation it is comfortable occupancy. Alaska is a apt case in point. The USA welcomed Alaska as the 49th state by 720 million dollars from former Soviet Union in 1867.Alaska kept undeveloped until the Alaska Highway was built there, and then it is found to be an extremely resourceful area--large amount of gold , gas and oil are discovered.  In 1980s, in order to preserve unspoilt and sensitive environment, almost half of Alaska was designated as a protected area. It is boasts with the largest land mass with the smallest human population in the nation, however, it is worthwhile to preserve it for its prolific resources and unique natural beauty which has much to do with the USA's protective policies.

In sum, wilderness of the nation is an indispensable part for the sake of government responsibility, environment protection and resources exploitation, and not as simple as comparing the density of populace. This issue, as it seems, is related to many national and global problems, thus has to be treated with great caution.
