Why should we preserve the wilderness?
What kind of discoveries has makind made in the wild and what potential does the wilderness hold for man today?
Should we consider ourselves equal to the rest of the biodiversity that inhabits the wilderness?
Should we approach the preservation of the wilderness without putting human interest first?
What do you guys know or think about the wilderness in general and how does it interrelate with science?
Have you guys read any good scholarly articles about the wilderness?
I want to hear what /out/ has to say about the wilderness.
btw for the sake of discussion we will define the wilderness as the vast ecosystems that are generally untouched by man. (even though they are rapidly declining.)

We shouldn't bother. We dont even have a country anymore

>Why should we preserve the wilderness?
1) the majority of people enjoy it it's calming too much hassle to live in it but we like the occasional visit and future generations will too. one could argue you have a right not to go in the woods if you don't enjoy it but can't take the woods away from the future generations.
2) earth ecosystem is complex farming is necessary to provide us with the raw calories but it doesn't not provide enough biodiversity for it all to work.
3) we did learn shittons about our origins evolution and biology while studying wildlife and we arguably barely scratched the surface yet.

we might see them again soon enough. in a few thousand years or so.
unless global warming shrills shut the fuck up.

We shouldn't. It is futile with the massive population growth we have so any preservation scheme is just going to mean move government scumbags robbing us blind.
